Divorce / Dissolution of Marriage
A divorce in Colorado is called “dissolution of marriage,” which is commenced by the filing of a petition in the district court of the county where the parties reside.
High Asset Divorce
A substantial portion of the divorce process will involve the division of this wealth. Whether in the form of investments, family-owned businesses, real-estate ownership or other highly valuable entities, you must ensure that your property and assets are divided in a way that protects you and your financial stability.
Child Custody
Colorado courts will consider the “best interests of the child” in every Colorado divorce, legal separation, annulment, or paternity case involving children.
Spousal and Child Support
In Colorado, spousal support is known as maintenance, the duration and amount of which depends upon a number of factors determined by statute.
