FAQs
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.
An attorney practicing family law will be well-equipped to advise you through the divorce process and beyond. Family law attorneys understand the complex family matters associated with divorce, such as parenting time, spousal maintenance, dividing marital assets, and post-decree issues like parental relocation.
Yes and no. Family law attorneys work on various family law matters, including child custody disputes, property division, child support, allocation of parental responsibilities, domestic violence, spousal support, prenuptial agreements, and other complex family law cases. Divorce attorneys fall under the scope of family lawyers, but some divorce lawyers won’t handle other domestic relations matters such as those listed above.
It depends on the law firm you hire to represent you. Many family law firms do not finance legal fees for their clients. However, many do work with third-party lenders that can offer financing options for clients.
