Practice Areas

Whether you are the spouse who files for divorce or the spouse served with divorce papers, we help you maximize your financial independence and prepare you for life after divorce. We have extensive knowledge of Colorado divorce law and the interconnected issues related to the dissolution of marriage.

A decree of legal separation in Colorado declares married parties to be legally separate persons without responsibility for the other spouse’s financial support or debts. The court will enter an award of property division, debt allocation, maintenance, allocation of parental responsibilities, and child support just as in a divorce case. After the court enters a decree of legal separation, neither party may remarry and certain benefits may still remain available under insurance policies, social security, pensions, etc. We will guide you through the process to ensure your goals are met and your interests are protected.

Commonly referred to as an “annulment,” a Declaration of Invalidity of Marriage is a judicial decree declaring that the marriage never legally existed. The court may enter an annulment for a variety of reasons including lack of mental capacity to consent to the marriage, fraud, duress, and entering into a “void” marriage (bigamy, incest, etc.). We will guide you through the process to ensure your goals are met and your interests are protected.

If you receive an adverse ruling from the court on any issue, you may have the right to appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals and, in some cases, to the Colorado Supreme Court to overturn the adverse ruling. We represent both appealing parties and appellees at the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court to ensure the protection of your rights and the achievement of your goals.

After the court issues the decree of dissolution of marriage, we take all steps to implement and enforce the agreement or judgment. If appropriate, we can also take steps to modify or appeal the judgment based on legal error, change of circumstances, or other factors.

Nothing is more important to you than your children. We work with you to ensure a fair allocation of parental responsibilities. If disputes arise regarding parenting time or decision-making for your child, we will take all appropriate steps to protect your child’s best interest.

Child support is intended to ensure the financial well-being of the children after a divorce or other legal proceeding involving the children. We take all steps necessary to ensure that your children are financially supported and protected.

Colorado law allows for grandparent visitation rights in certain circumstances, even if the parents object to grandparent visitation. If you are a grandparent denied visitation rights with your grandchild, or if your child’s grandparent is seeking visitation over your objection, we’ll represent you to protect your rights and achieve your goals.

If you or another person wish to establish the paternity of a child, or if another person is attempting to establish your paternity of a child over your objection, we’ll represent you in the paternity action.

Contempt of court may apply if your ex-spouse or child’s other parent has violated a court order regarding property transfer, maintenance, parenting time, child support, or any other issue. If you wish to institute contempt proceedings against your ex-spouse or child’s other parent, or if you have been served with a contempt citation, we’ll represent you to protect your rights and freedom.

Colorado law provides several options for modification of child support, child custody, and spousal maintenance. We can help you determine which option best fits your situation.
