Family law is a broad area of law encompassing many different types of cases. The following list is made up of just some of the issues our firm handles. We are not limited to only the cases on this list.
Divorce: Our lawyers will help you reach a fair division of assets and parental responsibilities in the divorce process.
Division of property: In Colorado, division of marital property is usually more complex than splitting everything down the middle.
Alimony/Maintenance: There are a number of factors Colorado judges will consider in determining whether you will be required to pay (or are entitled to receive) maintenance, which used to be called alimony.
Child custody and visitation: Today, child custody is called parental responsibility and presumptions have changed about when each parent can have children reside with them.
Child support: Determining child support can be complex for self employed and unemployed people.
Protection orders: Protection orders may be appropriate to prevent violence or harassment by a spouse during the divorce process.
Unmarried couples: Parents have rights and responsibilities with regard to their children, regardless of whether they are married to the other parent.
Mediation/ADR: In Boulder County and many other Colorado counties, mediation is required before you can go to court for the final orders in your divorce case.
Why you need a lawyer's help in divorce: Divorce and family law is complicated. If you represent yourself, you could end up with a settlement that does not work, and is difficult to straighten out later.
Securities fraud: Our lawyers represent people who have suffered investment losses due to securities fraud.
