FAMILY LAW
Family law deals with all family and domestic relationships, including divorce, separation, child custody, paternity issues, and many other concerns. Whatever situation you’re in, chances are we’ve seen it before.
We can also assist you with other legal matters such as, grandparent rights, division of complex marital estates (including business valuation), dissolution of civil unions, and unbundled legal services.
DIVORCE
Divorce is a pivotal life event that can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, and dynamic representation in the trial.
Whether you are facing a contested divorce or uncontested divorce Defensora Family Law Firm will work with you to outline your divorce goals and prepare you for your case. We have the experience to get the job done and to get it done right.
MODIFICATIONS
If you have found yourself earning less income, or if your ex has a larger earning potential, Defensora Family Law Firm will help you file a modification to adjust past decrees.
Circumstances after a divorce are prone to change, and existing divorce decrees may no longer be appropriate for your present-day reality. Therefore, it is imperative you seek the assistance of an attorney to see if a modification is right for you.
CHILD SUPPORT
Traditionally, the parent with less custody would pay to the other parent. At Defensora Family Law Firm, we will work to preserve your financial interests and the interests of your children.
Child support is generally based on a number of guidelines determined by entering numbers into a calculator. However, the situation can be decidedly more complex when one spouse is self-employed or works in a cash business.
CHILD CUSTODY
Child custody is perhaps the most contested element of any divorce proceeding. It decides how parents will raise their child and can determine a child’s well-being for the rest of their life. At Defensora Family Law Firm, we will fight to maximize your role in your children’s lives.
A 50-50 custody arrangement is not always possible or desired. Changes in circumstances can lead to further disputes. Such disputes should not go unrepresented.
PATERNITY
In today’s society, it is not uncommon for unmarried people to have children together. When these couples split, there is usually not any sort of court order guiding how important decisions regarding the children will be handled. Let Defensora Family Law Firm advocate for your parental rights.
Ensure you are receiving your paternity rights by filing a petition of paternity. We will help you secure time with your child and that you are not overpaying child support.
PREMARITAL AGREEMENTS
At times, it is necessary to put your intentions in writing to protect yourself from the worst case scenario.
A prenuptial agreement in Colorado is a contract two people enter into before marriage to outline how assets will be divided in the event the marriage later ends in divorce. Engaging the help of a prenuptial agreement attorney is important so that the document is comprehensive and binding.
MEDIATION & ARBITRATION
Mediation is a non-adversarial process that offers individuals in a dispute the opportunity to meet with a neutral third-party to negotiate a resolution.
While Defensora Family Law Firm offers aggressive representation when it is necessary to uphold your rights, we believe in a cooperative approach. Mediation is one of the many methods we employ to provide strong, mutually-beneficial solutions.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence happens every day to people of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities; from the poorest ghettos to the most expensive mansions.
When victims of domestic violence seek to leave an abusive marriage, they risk even more serious harm. In spite of what you may believe, you can leave this abusive relationship behind.
PROTECTION ORDERS
Protection orders— also referred to as restraining orders—prohibit contact between individuals when one person is believed to be at risk for harm from another.
If you’re seeking a protection order against your partner, desire to fight a protection order filed by another, or are accused of violating a restraining order, Defensora Family Law Firm is here to help.
COMMON LAW MARRIAGE
“Common law” is a marriage that is recognized by the state without the benefit of a formal marriage license or a traditional or civil ceremony attended by others.
Certain factors must be established in order for a common law marriage to occur and to be recognized as such. When such factors have been established, common law marriages are subject to all of the legal issues connected with any other marriage, including legal separation and the Colorado divorce process.
UNBUNDLED SERVICES
With Unbundled Services, you can hire a lawyer to assist you with the parts of your case you need help with, and then you can handle parts on your own to save money.
While traditional legal representation is the preference and certainly has its advantages, there may be times when clients’ budgets do not allow for the cost associated with having counsel of record. Luckily, there is an alternative option for those clients who need some legal assistance, but are not able to fully retain an attorney for full blown legal representation.
