Compassionate Guidance Through Divorce & Custody
Family law issues are never just legal—they impact your home, your children, your finances, and your future. That’s why we prioritize both the legal strategy and the human side of every case. Whether you’re looking to establish parenting time, modify an existing order, or pursue an adoption, we’re committed to protecting your rights and promoting long-term stability for your family.
Resolving Family Conflicts With Care
Our attorneys bring decades of combined experience in family law and a strong record of results across a broad range of cases. We approach every client with empathy, clear communication, and a deep understanding of Colorado family law. Below are some of the key areas we can help with:
Divorce
Divorce can be emotionally exhausting and legally complex. We help clients navigate every stage—from filing through final orders—with a focus on equitable property division, child-related matters, and spousal support. As a no-fault divorce state, Colorado allows dissolution based on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, meaning no proof of wrongdoing is required. We aim to resolve disputes through negotiation when possible but are fully prepared to litigate when necessary.
Parenting Time and Modification of Parenting Time
In Colorado, parenting time (formerly known as visitation) is guided by the best interests of the child. We work to develop parenting plans that are fair, stable, and beneficial to your child’s well-being. If your circumstances change, we can also help with modifications to existing parenting time orders.
Decision-Making and Modification of Decision-Making
Decision-making authority determines who has the right to make major choices about a child’s education, medical care, and more. We assist clients in establishing initial decision-making orders and seeking modifications when family dynamics or concerns about a child’s safety arise.
Maintenance and Modification of Maintenance
Spousal maintenance (commonly known as alimony) may be awarded based on factors such as the length of the marriage, income disparity, and financial need. We help clients establish, contest, or modify maintenance agreements—ensuring fair and sustainable outcomes that reflect current circumstances.
Child Support
Whether you’re the paying or receiving parent, child support arrangements should reflect your child’s needs and your financial reality. We ensure all child support calculations follow Colorado’s statutory guidelines and help you seek modifications when life circumstances change.
Contempt of Court
If the other party is not complying with a court order—whether related to support, parenting time, or property division—we can file a motion for contempt of court and take action to enforce your legal rights.
Grandparents’ Rights
Grandparents can play a vital role in a child’s life, and Colorado law recognizes limited circumstances where grandparents may seek visitation or custody. Our attorneys help clients pursue or defend against grandparent rights petitions while keeping the child’s best interest at the forefront.
Adoption
Adoption can be one of the most rewarding legal processes a family undertakes—but it can also be complex. We guide families through every step of the adoption journey, including stepparent adoption, relative adoption, and foster care-to-adoption transitions, ensuring that all legal requirements are carefully met.
