Allocation of Parental Decision Making and Parenting Time    We are experienced in the legal issues surrounding the allocation of parental decision making and parenting time (formerly called custody and visitation). We work with you to communicate to the court your view of the child's best interests and to advocate for your parental rights. We assist you in creating a parenting time schedule that maximizes your parental rights and benefits your child. We help you find the experts to do custody evaluations and help you prepare for the process.

Child Support    Both parents have a child support obligation for their children. We will help you determine the best child support calculation for your case.

Division of Marital Assets and Debts

  • Is your spouse hiding an asset? We help you find the truth.
  • What is a fair value for the asset? We are experienced in the determination of worth.
  • Do you know whether your property is marital or separate? We help you sort it out.

Once all the assets and debts are known, we help determine a fair and equitable division, whether you have a simple or complex marital estate.

Spousal Maintenance    The issue of spousal maintenance in any Colorado divorce case is quite complicated and unpredictable, and the judge's decision can seem subjective. We help you develop a strategy and the experts to lessen or maximize spousal maintenance, whether you are seeking maintenance or being asked to pay it.
