Divorce Decisions Involving Property, Support & Children

A divorce decree can resolve several connected issues, each requiring its own factual and legal analysis. We help clients identify disputed questions, prepare required information, and evaluate options for settlement or court proceedings.

Our divorce representation may address:

Marital property division: We identify property and financial obligations subject to division.
Spousal maintenance: We address whether maintenance is appropriate, along with its potential amount and duration.
Child custody and visitation: We advocate for parents in disputes over parental responsibilities and parenting time.
Parenting plans: We help structure schedules and other parenting responsibilities.
Child support: We assist with establishing arrangements based on the information relevant to the calculation.

Full-Scope & Unbundled Divorce Representation

Clients don’t always need the same level of legal support. We offer full-scope representation for those who want us to manage the case as a whole. We also provide unbundled legal services for a specific filing, document, or hearing.

Legal fees depend on the scope of representation and the complexity of the disputed issues. We offer small retainers, payment plans, and financing options to make legal assistance more practical for individuals and families. Before work begins, we discuss which arrangement fits the legal tasks involved.

Throughout a case, we explain court schedules, filing steps, and potential outcomes in clear terms. Evening and remote check-ins allow clients to communicate with us around work and family responsibilities.

Colorado Divorce Requirements for Aurora Residents

At least one spouse must have lived in Colorado for the 91 days immediately before filing a divorce petition. Colorado is a no-fault divorce state, so the court can enter a decree after finding that the marriage is irretrievably broken rather than assigning legal blame for its end.

Aurora residents whose cases are filed in Arapahoe County use the Arapahoe County District Court, which handles family matters such as divorce and custody. Jurisdiction and filing questions can depend on residence and family circumstances, so we review those details before determining the appropriate course.

Colorado also requires at least 91 days between service of the petition, or the date of a joint filing, and entry of the final divorce decree. This is a statutory minimum, not a prediction of the total time a case may take. Disputed finances, parenting matters, disclosure issues, and court scheduling can extend the broader timeline.

How a Divorce Case Moves Forward

We explain the process from the initial petition through financial disclosures, temporary-orders hearings, dispute resolution, and final orders. Temporary orders may address issues that need direction while the case remains pending. The final decree resolves the matters presented for final determination.

Property Division

Colorado follows equitable distribution for marital property. This means the court seeks a fair division based on the applicable circumstances, which isn’t necessarily an equal split. Accurate financial disclosures provide the information used to evaluate assets, debts, income, and other relevant financial issues.

Parenting requirements: Parents with minor children are generally required to attend a court-approved parenting class as part of the Colorado divorce process. Parenting plans and child support arrangements may be resolved by agreement or presented to the court when parents can’t settle the disputed terms.

Mediation, Arbitration & Litigation

We offer mediation and arbitration in addition to litigation for divorce disputes. Mediation gives spouses a structured process for working toward voluntary agreements outside trial. Arbitration places disputed issues before a neutral decision-maker for resolution.

When mediation doesn’t resolve every issue, the remaining questions may require a court decision. We help clients prepare for settlement discussions, arbitration, or litigation before the court.

Legal Separation & Post-Decree Modifications

Colorado doesn’t require spouses to complete a legal separation before filing for divorce. This option can address many of the same financial and parenting questions while leaving the marriage legally intact. We represent clients in these proceedings, including matters involving marital property division and spousal maintenance calculations.

Family law concerns can continue after the original orders are entered. We handle post-decree modifications when a client seeks a court-approved change. Whether modification is available depends on the type of order, the facts supporting the request, and the governing legal standard.
