PROUD TO OFFER AN EXPERIENCED, COMPASSIONATE AND CLIENT-FOCUSED FREE CONSULTATION

Every divorce is unique. That is why I am committed to giving each of my clients personalized service.  At our initial consultation at our Denver, CO divorce law firm, I listen carefully to gather the information I need and understand your priorities.   Then I explain what legal separation is, what the divorce process is and how it works:

  • Normally, the first step to obtaining a divorce in Colorado is to file a petition for dissolution.
  • Temporary orders hearings may be requested where there are custody issues that require immediate resolution.
  • Early on both spouses will be required to provide sworn financial statements for disclosure to the other spouse.
  • Colorado mandates a 90-day cooling off period in divorce, so at least three months must pass before a divorce decree is issued.
  • If there are allegations of child abuse or neglect, we can hire experts to conduct psychological evaluations; sometimes, the court will require a recommendation from a Child and Family Investigator (CFI) or other professional.

Negotiating a divorce settlement is usually preferable to fighting in court. It offers greater control over the outcome than relying on a judge to resolve the issues.  To discuss your legal needs with an experienced attorney at your Denver CO divorce law firm, request a free Denver divorce consultation!
