Legal Services Colorado Families Need – Delivered with Compassion and Skill
At Divorce Matters®, we know that family law issues are rarely just about paperwork and statutes – they’re about people. That’s why we take time to understand your situation and goals, then develop personalized strategies to meet them.
Whether your divorce is amicable or contested, our team is ready to advocate for your interests and work toward a resolution that minimizes stress while protecting what matters most. In some cases, divorce is about more than the relationship – it’s about children, assets, homeownership, and financial independence. That’s where the depth of our legal services comes into play. We don’t just “handle” your divorce – we help you manage every detail, from division of property and spousal maintenance to parenting plans and post-decree modifications.
Focused Help for Parents and Families
Many families come to us seeking help with child custody arrangements. These cases can be deeply emotional, especially when parents disagree on what’s best for their children. Our attorneys bring a balanced, child-centered approach to custody and parenting time cases. We work hard to develop agreements that support stability and the child’s well-being while ensuring that your rights as parents are upheld. For those facing disputes or changes after the initial order, we also assist with modifications to parenting plans and enforcement when necessary.
Child support and spousal support are other areas of service we provide. Colorado law has guidelines in place, but every case is unique – and ensuring those guidelines are applied correctly is critical. We work with you to calculate appropriate support, address underemployment or imbalanced financial situations, and represent your best interests whether you are paying or receiving support.
In addition to divorce and custody, our firm can create and enforce prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These contracts offer clarity and protection for couples entering or already in marriage, particularly those with substantial assets or children from prior relationships. Rather than being a sign of mistrust, these agreements can be an act of mutual respect and preparedness – and we ensure they’re drafted properly to stand up in court if it ever goes to that point.
Our services in also include protection in urgent situations. When domestic violence or abuse is involved, the safety of you and your children comes first. We act quickly to help clients obtain civil protection orders and navigate the legal steps necessary to secure immediate and long-term safety. Overall, Divorce Matters® provides the necessary legal services Colorado families need to help with their current situation and their future.

Divorce Matters® – Legal Services
Colorado Families Can Trust.
In Colorado, marital property is divided through equitable distribution, meaning assets and debts acquired during the marriage are divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. The court considers factors like each spouse’s contribution, economic circumstances, and the value of separate property when determining the division.
Conventional divorce with the specter of litigation and lengthy court time can create significant unease in couples who wish to divorce in a respectful, dignified way. Collaborative law divorce (or no-court divorce) can be a viable alternative to traditional divorce proceedings.
Here we cover the process of appealing a ruling in a family law case, as well as some of the issues that are unique to family law.
Colorado allows parties to enter into a common law marriage. Contrary to popular belief, there is no time requirement for a common law marriage. Therefore, you do not have to live together for any specific period of time before you can have a common law marriage in Colorado. However, just merely living together will not result in a common law marriage either.
While there are a million things to plan when a couple decides to marry, often the most difficult to discuss with your future partner is the possible need for a Colorado prenuptial agreement. While this subject is not the most romantic or exciting part of wedding planning, a couple contemplating marriage in Colorado may need to consider entering into a prenuptial agreement, or a contract before marriage.
Navigating the court system without the assistance of a divorce attorney can be difficult regardless of how complex or combative your case is. It is important for self-represented parties (called pro se) to seek alternative forms of representation.
After having gone through a divorce or once you have some orders from the court, you may at some point find yourself on either end of a contempt of court Colorado action if one of the parties is not complying with the orders.
Divorce is never an easy process, but when either you or your spouse are in the military it can be even more complicated as there is more to consider than in a traditional divorce. We understand the sacrifices military families make every day and we want to be sure they don’t have to make any when it comes to legal representation. Here at Divorce Matters we aim to reduce and even eliminate many of the obstacles that can stand in the way of a successful outcome for our clients.
Neither spouse has an automatic right to alimony, also known as spousal maintenance in Colorado. The court will award maintenance only if the spouse seeking maintenance cannot meet their reasonable needs and, in addition, is either unable to support themselves through employment or should not be required to seek employment because of childcare responsibilities
Divorce cases involving children almost always require difficult, and even painful, negotiations over child custody. The same can be said of non-married parents who decide to separate, which raises the sensitive question of how custody will be allocated.
Proper representation is critical for any parent when going through a child custody case. While parents are allowed to create their own child support agreements, any agreement that deviates too far from the Colorado child support laws & guidelines will likely not receive court approval. This is just one reason why having an attorney with expertise in child support cases is critical.
When a couple in Colorado gets divorced, the marital settlement agreement they sign isn’t set in stone for life. A change in circumstances can justify revisiting the agreement and seeking what is called a post-divorce modification or post-decree modification. Family law courts in Colorado recognize that marital settlement agreements need to be modified, either because of changing circumstances or the discovery of information that wasn’t disclosed during divorce proceedings.
Alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, refers to any means of settling a dispute outside the confines of a courtroom. In the context of divorce, two alternative dispute resolution methods can be highly effective at helping couples resolve their differences in a relatively fast and affordable manner. Those two methods are as follows:
Domestic violence happens to people in all classes, statuses, and ranks in life, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, education, profession, or socioeconomic status.
