Family law
Protect your children and your futureSteady guidance when everything feels uncertain.
Family law cases are legal matters, but they are also personal. Decisions made during a divorce or custody case can shape where your children live, how you share time with them, and your financial stability for years. You deserve a team that listens, tells you the truth, and prepares carefully.
We know how the other side builds a case. Our managing attorney’s background as a prosecutor taught her how evidence is gathered, framed, and challenged, and we bring that discipline to family court. We work toward fair resolutions without unnecessary conflict, and when the other side will not be reasonable, we are prepared to go to court.

Our family law services
Help across every major family law issue
Divorce
From uncontested divorce to high-asset divorce and military divorce, we protect what you have built and plan for what comes next. Start with our divorce page. Colorado also recognizes common law marriage, which may require a formal divorce.
Child custody (parental responsibilities)
Colorado courts decide parenting time and decision-making based on the child’s best interests. We help you build a clear parenting plan, seek emergency orders when a child is at risk, handle relocation and modification cases, and enforce parenting time. See the child custody hub.
Child support and alimony
We make sure child support and spousal maintenance are based on accurate income and real needs, and we help modify or enforce orders when circumstances change.
Property division
Colorado divides marital property equitably. We identify what is marital and separate, value it accurately, and protect your share. See property division.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
Clear agreements before or during marriage can protect both spouses and reduce conflict later. See prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements.
Domestic violence and divorce
If abuse is part of your marriage, your safety comes first. We plan carefully and confidentially. See domestic violence and divorce or start with a confidential Safe Start Consultation.
Avoid costly mistakes
Decisions that create bigger problems later
- Letting emotions drive legal decisions
- Agreeing to terms before you understand their long-term impact
- Moving out with the children without a plan
