Protect Your Interests

Let me help you bypass the stress of trial by obtaining settlements if possible. When it is not possible, I am fully prepared to fight for your interests in court and position you for a favorable outcome.

It is important to consider the far-ranging implications of any decision and my experience will help you get the results you want, not only in the present, but the future as well.

If you have been a resident of Colorado for 90 days, you may file for divorce or allocation of parental responsibility. Once the Petition for Dissolution is filed, you cannot obtain your Decree of Dissolution until 90 days have passed, however, there are many things to be done during that time. Colorado is a no-fault and equitable division of property state and I will assist you to audit your finances, as well as negotiate child custody and division of property.

I can advise you and protect your interests regarding:

• Child support, custody, visitation
• Spousal maintenance
• Marital home and real estate matters
• Pensions, retirement accounts, and investments
• Vehicles and personal possessions
• Business assets
• Division of debts
