Legal Separation
If you’re not ready for divorce but need to establish separate living arrangements, legal separation may be the right option. Our team will help you understand the legal implications of a separation, including asset division and custody arrangements.
Uncontested Divorce
For couples who can agree on the key aspects of their divorce, an uncontested divorce can be a quicker and more cost-effective option. We will assist you in negotiating a fair agreement and submitting the necessary paperwork to finalize your divorce.

Property Division
One of the most complex aspects of divorce is dividing marital property. Our attorneys will help you fairly divide assets, including real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and more.
Spousal Support/Alimony
We assist clients in determining whether spousal support is necessary and in negotiating the terms of any alimony payments. Our goal is to ensure a fair arrangement based on the needs and financial circumstances of both parties.
Child Custody
When children are involved, custody decisions can be the most emotional and challenging part of a divorce. Our child custody attorneys work diligently to ensure the best interests of your children are met, and that the parenting plan is fair and workable for all parties.

How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Denver?
The cost of hiring a divorce lawyer varies based on the complexity of the case. We offer transparent pricing and will work with you to develop a fee structure that fits your budget.
Can you get a divorce in Colorado without a lawyer?
While it’s possible to file for divorce without an attorney in Colorado, hiring a lawyer ensures that your rights are protected and that the divorce is handled properly. Legal issues such as property division and custody arrangements can be complicated.
What is the difference between a legal separation and a divorce in Colorado?
A legal separation allows spouses to live apart while still legally married. This may be useful for those who need to maintain certain benefits or aren’t ready to divorce. In contrast, divorce permanently dissolves the marriage and involves dividing property, spousal support, and potentially child custody.
What is the process for getting a divorce in Colorado?
The divorce process involves filing a petition with the court, serving the other party, negotiating terms (such as property division and child custody), and finalizing the divorce through a court order. If the divorce is contested, it may involve litigation.
How is child custody determined in Colorado?
In Colorado, child custody is determined based on the child’s best interests. This includes factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, each parent’s ability to care for the child, and the child’s preferences, among other considerations.
Can divorce settlements be modified in Colorado?
Yes, divorce settlements can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, relocation, or a change in the child’s needs.
