Family Law Practice Areas
Child's Best Interest
All questions of child custody and visitation are decided in Colorado according
to the question of what is in the best interests of the children. It is
the goal of the family law court to ensure that there is an arrangement
that serves to foster the emotional and physical well-being of the children.
Modifications
It is often possible to petition the court to modify terms pertaining to
child custody and visitation, child support, and alimony. It is necessary
to provide evidence that the modification is absolutely necessary and
that it will serve the best interests of all parties.
Child Support
Both parents have a responsibility to provide for their children's economic
necessities, but one parent will often have greater resources than the
other for doing so. It is important to ensure that the determination of
child support does not shoulder you with an unfair share of the burden
and place you in a position of financial difficulty.
Child Custody
Concerned about being denied shared custody of your children? Worried about
keeping your children away from an unstable or abusive spouse? An attorney
from our firm can fight to defend your rights as a parent and ensure that
your children are placed in the best possible situation.
Enforcement
If your former spouse is refusing to pay you child support or alimony or
is interfering with your rights of shared custody or visitation, we can
help you bring the matter to court to enforce the orders.
Spousal Support
Alimony — also referred to as spousal support — may be paid
from one party to the other. Several factors influence the decision to
award alimony, including the duration of the marriage, each party's financial
resources and earning power, and how long it will take the dependent spouse
to become self-sufficient.
Visitation
The courts prefer to allow both parents to spend as much time as possible
with their children after a divorce, provided that this is in the best
interests of the children. Your attorney will have the task of proving
that it would be beneficial for you to play a large role in your children's
lives and therefore you should receive ample visitation time.
Domestic Abuse
Allegations of domestic violence and
child abuse can have an enormous impact on the outcome of a divorce, potentially influencing
matters such as child custody, alimony, and the division of property.
An attorney can help you obtain an
order of protection against an abusive spouse or defend you against false accusations of abuse.
Do I Really Need a Colorado Springs Family Lawyer?
It is not advisable to represent yourself in a legal matter that involves your family. Even if you and your spouse are on good terms and are capable of maintaining amicable relations, you must realize that the law is complex, and you could easily end up with an outcome that does not favor your best interests. Have an attorney with a thorough understanding of family law represent you and defend your personal interests.
You have too much at stake to take any chances with the outcome of your case. Contact our family law attorneys for a free consultation to discuss your concerns and to take the first steps in your case.
