The Process of Divorce

This is the legal process of ending a marriage. Not all divorces are the same. A standard divorce handles the complete separation, while a complex divorce involves high-net-worth or business ownership. Furthermore, a military divorce follows a unique set of federal rules.

Custody and Support

When children are involved, their well-being is the court's top priority. Child custody (APR) determines decision-making and parenting time. Paired with this is child support, the financial obligation to ensure the child's needs are met, based on a specific Colorado formula.

Securing Your Financial Future

Separating a shared life means separating finances. Property division is the equitable division of all marital assets and debts. Separately, spousal support (or alimony) may be granted to a lower-earning spouse to ensure they can maintain financial stability post-divorce.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Not all family law is reactive. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are proactive legal tools. They are created before or during marriage to define how assets will be handled, protecting separate property and preventing future conflict.
