Denver Family Law Attorneys

When something shifts in your family, it touches every part of your life. You might be lying awake at night running through questions about your kids, your home, your finances, and how you are going to hold everything together. The legal process is only one piece of it. What you are really trying to protect is your stability and your children’s future.

Our team at the Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group understands this. We know these cases are rarely simple, and they are never just paperwork. Our role is to step in with a clear strategy, steady guidance, and strong advocacy so you can make informed decisions.

Our Denver family law attorneys advocate for women and mothers in matters such as:

Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage

We represent women in both contested and uncontested divorce cases. We know that any divorce scenario is sensitive. It requires a steady hand and a compassionate ear. Our primary goal is to answer your questions and clearly explain how Colorado law applies to your unique situation. We then build a plan of action designed to advance your interests and protect your rights.

Allocation of Parental Responsibilities

Colorado law uses specific terms like “parenting time” and “decision-making responsibility” rather than just custody. Unless a safety concern exists, courts generally believe it is best for a child to maintain a relationship with both parents. However, the court looks closely at who has been the primary caregiver when establishing these schedules. In many cases, this is the mother. We work to show the court why your role in your child’s life must be protected.

Child Support and Maintenance

Financial stability is often the biggest worry for our clients. The amount of child support you receive or pay depends on several factors. This includes the gross income of both parents and the specific needs of the children. The court may look at costs for health insurance, daycare, and education. We also assist with spousal maintenance to help you maintain financial independence after your marriage ends.

Post-Decree Modifications

Life does not stop after the judge signs your divorce decree. People often experience the same difficult behavior from an ex-spouse years later. A former partner might refuse to cooperate or try to manipulate the terms of your agreement. Life events also happen. You might get a new job, or a parent might need to move. When circumstances change substantially, we help clients seek modifications to their court orders. We also help you enforce existing orders for support and parenting time if your ex is not following the rules.

Prenuptial and Marital Agreements

Entering a prenuptial agreement is a smart choice for many couples. It is similar to having insurance. You hope you never need it, but having it provides protection. These agreements can simplify the process and save significant costs if you ever divorce. They allow you to decide ahead of time how to distribute property and protect your assets or inheritance plans for your children.

Pre-Divorce Planning

We offer a unique service called Pre-Divorce Planning. This helps clients look ahead to see what might happen if a divorce occurs. We guide you on the steps to take now to insulate yourself and protect your interests later.

Additional Family Law Services

Our team is proud to have made history by handling some of the U.S.’s first civil-union divorces, and we remain dedicated to serving the unique needs of nontraditional and alternative families with care.

For cases involving family businesses, our attorneys bring a valuable edge. With a strong background in business and corporate law, we are well-equipped to handle divorces that include shared business ownership or investments, protecting your interests at every step.
