Full-Scope & Limited-Scope Family Law Services
We offer full-scope representation for clients who want an attorney to manage their case from filing through final orders. We also provide unbundled legal services, sometimes called limited-scope representation, for defined needs such as preparing a filing or appearing at a particular hearing.
Our firm offers manageable retainers and flexible payment plan options. We advocate for each client’s financial interests while working to control legal expenses where possible. The appropriate service arrangement depends on the disputed issues, procedural demands, and level of support you need.

From Filing to Final Orders & Modifications
We begin by discussing your family circumstances, immediate concerns, disputed issues, and preferred type of representation. Our attorneys then explain the filing requirements, court schedule, and potential outcomes without predicting a result.
A divorce starts when one spouse files a petition or both spouses file jointly. After the required documents and financial disclosures are exchanged, unresolved issues may proceed through negotiation, mediation, court hearings, or a combination of these paths. We can provide direct representation at each applicable stage through final orders.
Family law concerns can continue after a decree or permanent orders are entered. When circumstances support a change, we assist with post-decree modifications and explain the requirements for requesting relief.
Property, Support & Parenting Issues
A family law case can involve several connected financial and parenting decisions. We identify the issues requiring resolution, prepare the relevant filings, and advocate for workable terms through settlement discussions or court proceedings.
Common matters we handle include:
- Marital property and debt division: Colorado follows equitable distribution, which means the court divides marital assets and debts fairly rather than automatically dividing everything equally.
- Spousal maintenance: We address maintenance calculations and the financial information relevant to whether support may be ordered.
- Parenting plans: We advocate for parents in child custody and visitation disputes. A court-ordered parenting plan addresses where a child lives, parenting time, and which parent has authority over major decisions.
- Child support: We establish support arrangements under Colorado’s statewide formula, which considers both parents’ incomes, overnight stays, and qualifying health care and education costs.
- Post-decree modifications: We assist clients seeking changes to existing family court orders when circumstances and Colorado law support modification.
These issues often affect one another. Parenting time can influence child support calculations, while property and income information may bear on maintenance. We examine the disputed terms together rather than treating each decision in isolation.
