Overview
Divorce & Child Custody in Colorado Springs
Divorce and child custody are often the same case in Colorado — property, maintenance, parenting time, and legal decision-making all move together on one docket. We handle both sides of that case with the same preparation, whether the matter is amicable or hotly contested.
On the divorce side, Colorado is a no-fault state, but that does not make it simple. Property division, maintenance, sworn financial disclosures, and — when there are children — a parenting plan that meets statutory requirements all have to be negotiated or litigated carefully.
On the custody side, the standard is always the best interests of the child. We build parenting plans that anticipate the issues most likely to cause future conflict — holiday schedules, transportation, school choice, medical decisions, and communication between households — and we litigate when the schedule or decision-making authority is contested, working with child and family investigators and parental responsibility evaluators where appropriate.
Our approach is candid. We will tell you which positions are likely to succeed and which are not, and we will not run up fees on issues that should be settled. When the other side refuses a reasonable resolution, we are ready to litigate.
