Lone Tree Divorce Lawyer

Our experienced divorce attorneys provide guidance and representation with respect to the following:

• Division of Marital Property – When a married couple divorces in Colorado, the law requires that their marital property be divided equitably – but not necessarily 50-50. The definition of “marital property” can be found at Colo. Rev. Stat. § 14-10-113.
• Alimony (Spousal Maintenance) – In Colorado, the formal legal term for alimony is spousal maintenance. The two most important factors when it comes to calculating spousal maintenance, or whether it will be paid at all, are the length of the marriage and the incomes of the parties.
• Child Custody – As the divorce attorneys at our firm serving Lone Tree well know, child custody can be one of the most challenging aspects of ending a marriage. The “best interests of the child” standard is what courts use when making child custody determinations in this state.
• Child Support – A minor child of unmarried parents has a legal right to the financial resources of both of them. A Lone Tree divorce lawyer from Divorce Matters® will be pleased to explain how child support would likely be calculated in your specific case.
• Mediation – Reaching a marital settlement agreement through mediation can be a highly cost-effective alternative to preparing for and attending multiple court hearings. A Lone Tree divorce lawyer from Divorce Matters® will be pleased to discuss the many benefits of mediation with you.
• Prenuptial Agreements – Entering into a prenuptial agreement prior to marriage can greatly simplify the divorce process should the marriage break down. The divorce attorneys at our firm are highly skilled at drafting, negotiating, and enforcing prenuptial agreements in Colorado.
• Domestic Violence – If you are the victim of domestic violence, regardless of whether you are currently married to your abuser, we strongly encourage you to speak with a divorce lawyer at our firm about seeking a civil protection order.
