Catherine McClaugherty

Licensed Legal Paraprofessional

Family law has always been Catherine’s calling—the area where she can make the greatest positive impact on families facing some of life’s most difficult challenges. Her professional journey has provided her with a versatile skill set and multifaceted perspective, allowing her to approach cases with insight, empathy, and strategic focus.

Catherine began her legal career in 2009 with the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Principal Legal Advisor as a legal assistant, later serving as an Immigration Officer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. She sat on the bench with a Denver District Court Judge as a Judicial Assistant, working on high-volume dependency and neglect and juvenile delinquency dockets. During this time, her passion for protecting children’s best interests grew exponentially.

Transitioning to the private sector in family law, Catherine has gained over six years of extensive experience as a family law paralegal. Her expertise spans a wide range of matters, including protection orders, legal separations, dissolutions of marriage with or without children, declaration of invalidity of marriage, allocation of parental responsibilities, emergency parenting time restrictions, motions for remedial contempt, and post-decree modifications.

Passing the LLP exam and being sworn in by the Colorado Supreme Court to practice family law under Rule 207 is a milestone Catherine is particularly proud of. She is honored to pioneer this pathway, offering cost-effective, high-quality legal services.

As a Licensed Legal Paraprofessional (LLP), Catherine brings diligent planning and strong advocacy to every case. Whether negotiating with opposing parties or navigating complex legal issues, she is committed to transparency, empowering clients by ensuring their understanding of the legal process and providing unwavering support during these life transitions.

Kate Ham

Get In Touch

Kate Ham

Licensed Legal Paraprofessional

Kate’s journey into family law began with her own personal experience. When her husband faced challenges seeing his daughter from a previous relationship, Kate took it upon herself to research and navigate the complex world of custody law. Through a lengthy and contentious battle, she helped secure custody of her stepdaughter, later adopting her in 2020. This pivotal experience ignited Kate’s passion for family law and her commitment to helping others through similar challenges.

Kate approaches her clients’ cases with a foundation of empathy, setting realistic expectations, and maintaining professionalism throughout every step of the process. She understands firsthand the emotional toll family law matters can take and is dedicated to offering strong advocacy while fostering collaboration and open communication. Her personal experience drives her commitment to helping clients reach resolutions that are in the best interest of their families.

One of Kate’s proudest accomplishments is going back to school at 29 to earn her paralegal certificate and, ten years later, passing the Licensed Legal Paraprofessional exam and being sworn in at 39. The most rewarding case of her career was her involvement in her own stepdaughter's adoption, a case that confirmed her calling to family law.

As a Licensed Legal Paraprofessional, Kate offers limited scope representation, assisting clients in drafting and filing important legal documents related to family law matters. Her areas of expertise include divorce, child custody, and adoption. She is passionate about guiding her clients through the often-complex family law system with a practical, client-centered approach.

Heather A. Rubin

Meet Colorado Attorney Heather Rubin

Heather A. Rubin

Attorney

Attorney Heather Rubin always knew she would be an attorney. She grew up in a family of attorneys and by the time she graduated from college, she knew that law school was calling her. Her love of research, writing, and education made being an attorney the obvious next step! Her incredible attention to detail and ability to listen to and understand her clients sets her apart from the rest. Her life experience allows her an understanding that family law is often a last resort for people navigating incredibly stressful and emotional life situations. This unique point of view allows her to sympathize with her clients in a way that a lot of other attorneys cannot. Heather likes to say that she “carries the legal burden” so her clients can “carry the emotional burden.”

Heather has over 17 years of experience in various areas of law, including family law, trust and estate law, and litigation. In addition, Heather works closely with families going through dependency and neglect cases. She relishes the opportunity to be a voice to children who wouldn’t otherwise be heard through through the legal system. Before joining Divorce Matters, Heather even ran her own law firm as a solo practitioner! Her love of law has allowed her to continue her legal education throughout her career, as well as volunteer with Metro Volunteer Lawyers.

In her free time, Heather is a competitive marathon runner and has participated in both the Boston and New York City Marathons!

Ariel E. Williams

Meet Colorado Attorney Ariel Williams

Ariel E. Williams

Attorney

Attorney Ariel E. Williams brings a compassionate approach to her clients’ legal solutions, empowering her clients with the knowledge they need to navigate towards a better future. For her, the most important outcome is that her clients get through their divorce with their heads held high and the tools they need to be able to move forward with their lives.

Ariel’s goal as an attorney is to provide excellent legal service through attention to her clients’ experience. For her communication is key in delivering on this goal; this means she is responsive with her clients, takes the time to explain everything going on in their case with them to avoid surprises, and delivers a sense of relief to her clients when they know their case is being handled by someone who cares.

Ariel is a collaboratively trained attorney and she approaches each of her cases with that training in mind. This means she works towards mediated resolutions, guided by her clients’ goals. However, when litigation is needed Ariel is ready to tenaciously represent her clients in court. She has trial experience in divorce cases, as well as post-decree, child custody, child support and maintenance matters.

When Ariel isn’t representing her clients, she tries to spend as much time as possible outdoors long-distance running, hiking, snowshoeing and camping. She also loves spending her time with her husband and two cats, baking pies and reading.

Emily F. Ahnell

Partner and Managing Attorney

Emily Ahnell began her family law practice after she noticed a need in the community for unbundled legal services. In addition to family law, Emily also defends employers and insurance carriers before administrative agencies, and represents employers and insurance carriers in civil litigation matters in Federal and State Courts.

In 2004, as an Associate for Ogborn, Summerlin, and Ogborn, Emily began her practice in civil litigation, including complex products liability cases and employment law. When she moved to Hall & Evans in 2005, her practice focus narrowed to the exclusive representation of employers and insurance carriers in workers’ compensation claims and civil litigation.

While Emily still practices civil defense, she now also applies her legal prowess to deliver exceptional unbundled family legal services to her clients and the problems they face.

Meet Founding Partner Douglas Thomas

Douglas A. Thomas

Founding Partner

As a founder of Divorce Matters®, my team of attorneys works with families in Colorado to help them achieve optimal outcomes in the highly emotional, individual, and sensitive area of family law, particularly divorce, child custody, and child support. Divorce in Colorado is difficult – once a divorce proceeding enters the court process, the system brings complex schedules, filing deadlines, and legal challenges that can frustrate even the most diligent and attentive individual.

And while our courts allow divorce without legal representation, we believe people facing this emotionally difficult experience need the legal strength and trusted advice an experienced attorney can bring – at a price that allows everyday people access to legal representation.

When decisions you make today about your transitioning family will impact you and your children for a lifetime, turn to my team at Divorce Matters® for strength and confidence. We can help you chart a course to resolution that reflects your financial situation while preserving your rights and protecting your future.
