Who we help
Every divorce has its own facts, finances, and family dynamics. We right‑size our strategy to your goals and risk tolerance.
Parents of minors
Build parenting plans that prioritize your children’s stability—school schedules, holidays, communication, and decision‑making.
Homeowners
Address the house with clarity—equity, refinancing, sale timelines, and temporary possession while the case is pending.
Business owners and executives
Coordinate valuation, compensation, equity, and tax considerations—without derailing operations or careers.
Amicable spouses
Use mediation and streamlined filings to reduce conflict, cost, and time—while keeping legal protections in place.
Complex financial pictures
Navigate retirement accounts (QDROs), stock awards, trusts, and multi‑property portfolios with an eye on taxes and liquidity.
Key issues in a Colorado divorce (plain‑English guide)
We translate legal requirements into clear action steps and help you make informed decisions at each fork in the road.
Contested vs. uncontested
Uncontested cases resolve faster with lower fees. Contested matters require structured negotiation, mediation, and sometimes trial.
Property division
“Equitable” doesn’t always mean 50/50. We map assets, debts, premarital property, and separate vs. marital components with documentation.
Spousal maintenance (alimony)
We evaluate need and ability to pay, duration benchmarks, and tax impacts—aiming for practical, sustainable terms.
Parenting plans
Legal vs. physical custody, parenting time schedules, exchanges, travel, and dispute‑resolution mechanisms tailored to your family.
Temporary orders and safety
Early, court‑backed guardrails for finances and parenting; protective measures where safety is at issue.
The divorce process (what to expect)
- Petition and service: file to start the case and notify the other party.
- Disclosures and discovery: exchange required financial information; request additional records as needed.
- Temporary orders: stabilize parenting time, housing access, and financial responsibilities during the case.
- Mediation and negotiation: work toward agreement on property, support, and parenting plans.
- Hearing or trial (if needed): present evidence and obtain final orders.
- Post‑decree: QDROs, deed transfers, account changes, and potential modifications as circumstances evolve.
Timelines vary by complexity and court scheduling. We set expectations early and keep you updated at each milestone. For a deeper look at how cases move through our firm, see Our Process .
