The following is a general outline of procedures common to most divorce (dissolution) or separation cases:
1. Initial papers filed, financial papers completed and another meeting held with attorney within 10-15 days after case started. Initial papers are usually Summons-Petition and Motion for Temporary Orders or Support.
2. If temporary orders or support date is scheduled it is usually 4 to 6 weeks after case filed because as the Courts are crowded it takes time to get on the Court’s docket.
3. At the first meeting with the attorney after the case is started we will come up with a reasonable proposal to make to your spouse and / or his / her attorney. If we can keep the matter out of Court and settle the issues through negotiation then it will be a NON-CONTESTED MATTER and over within 3 to 4 months. If the other side is not reasonable or fair to you then it will be a CONTESTED CASE which must be decided by the Judge and will take 6 to 8 months to complete, depending on which County we are in.

There are a number of good on-line resources whatever your legal question or issue may be. I’ve tried to include some of them on this page.
One of the areas that I get a number of web-based questions on is the subject of divorce. This is obviously a very difficult and trying time. I’ve tried to list some of the most common and hopefully helpful questions and answers below:
Do I have to live in Colorado before I can get a divorce here?
Yes, generally you have to live in Colorado for at least 90 days.
How does custody of children work? Can I get custody of the children?
It depends on what is in the best interest for the child. The child’s “best interest” takes into account many different factors.
How much child support would I get for my children?
It really depends on the parents income, overnights, medical premiums and day care costs. As with determining the child’s best interest, many factors can play into determining the amount of child support.
Can I get alimony as well?
Possibly. This depends on several factors including lifestyles and financial resources.
What happens if we agree on everything?
In that case, an agreement can be written subject to court approval.
How long does it take to complete the divorce process?
Usually a minimum of 90 days, generally longer if a judge is needed to resolve any matters.
How soon can I get my spouse to help with debts, child support and other costs?
Usually we can be in court within four to six weeks after the case if filed for “temporary orders” at which time the court will enter orders that will be in effect until the divorce is final.
How is custody determined?
The 1999 Parental Responsibility Law has changed how Colorado looks at what used to be called custody of minor children. To explain it properly, it’s best to call me directly to discuss.
