Family Law

The cost to hire a divorce attorney can vary wildly depending on the circumstances of your case. Cases involving custody disputes or property divisions typically require more of an attorney’s time and effort. 

Cooperation between parties can save divorcing spouses time and money on legal fees. Alternatively, if your case goes to trial, your case will likely incur additional costs. 

Overall, hiring an attorney is more likely to result in a favorable outcome, saving you money in the long run. 

Colorado is considered an equitable distribution state, meaning the courts seek to divide property fairly between divorcing spouses. Fair doesn’t mean equal.

The court will consider several factors when determining equitable property division. These factors include but are not limited to, shared property and separate property, economic circumstances, and the marriage’s duration.  

Colorado requires most parties involved in family law disputes to meet with a mediator before going to court. However, the frequency of mediation varies by jurisdiction. 

A skilled family law attorney can offer guidance on the mediation process based on your case’s jurisdiction.
