Boulder Child Custody Attorney

Unmarried couples and individuals, whether together or not together, are in a unique position when it comes to family law related matters. To fully understand how to address your legal matters regarding your particular situation, enlist the assistance of an experienced lawyer at the Law Office of Buchholz, McDowell & Norman. Some of the matters that directly affect unmarried couples are listed and described below.

Common law marriage
If your relationship qualifies as a common law marriage, then the same rights and responsibilities apply to you and your significant other if you ever decide to part ways. Our firm can help you determine whether or not you actually are “common law married,” which often requires that you and your partner live together, and hold yourself out to the community as married. From that point we can assist you in establishing any protection for your individual assets or filing the proper divorce documents if common law status has been attained and you wish to end your partnership.

Parental responsibility (formerly called child custody)
Child custody matters can be complicated if you are unmarried to the other parent of the child. Relocation is a very important issue that you may face. If you are moving out of state and want to take your child with you, your child custody agreement may need to be modified. The earlier you speak to a child custody attorney in this process, and become prepared to deal with the resulting issues, the better it will be for everyone involved in the situation. Our firm also handles many other types of child custody issues involving unmarried individuals.

• Our firm handles a number of other matters for unmarried couples such as cohabitation agreements and prenuptial agreements for those who are planning on being married.
