Family law cases relate to matters that affect your family, and as a result, they can be very anxiety-inducing. Your parental and financial rights are so critical that having peace of mind as you move forward through the legal process is paramount, and an experienced Colorado family law attorney can help you accomplish this. 

Common Family Law Matters

Family law guides a wide range of legal concerns that affect families. 

Divorce

Divorce is central to family law, and the outcome will affect your primary rights as a parent – in addition to your financial rights. Consider the following basic terms of divorce:

• Parental responsibilities and parenting time, which correspond with what you may think of as legal and physical custody, respectively
• Child support
• The division of marital property
• Alimony

Working closely with a dedicated family law attorney will help to ensure that you obtain terms that support you and your children’s rights and best interests, which can go a long way toward bolstering your peace of mind. 

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are contracts that serve the purpose of guiding how specific terms of divorce will be resolved if the marriage ends. While these contracts cannot address child custody or child support, they can provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your separate assets are indeed separate and from knowing how your assets will be divided between you and your spouse in the event your marriage falters.

Parental Relocations

The parenting time schedule you receive from the court is binding. This does not mean that you or your ex are banned from moving out of state and disrupting the schedule’s flow. It does mean, however, that you may not be allowed to take the children with you if you are the primary custodial parent and are planning a move that your ex is not in agreement regarding. The courts always base decisions related to parental relocations on the best interests of the children involved. As such, establishing that your move would provide them with improved circumstances and opportunities or that your ex’s move – if the situation is reversed – would not be to their advantage can help you proceed with greater purpose in relation to your own or your ex’s proposed parental relocation. 

Domestic Abuse

If you are experiencing domestic abuse of any kind, it can leave you paralyzed with fear in relation to your own and your children’s safety. A trusted family law attorney with considerable experience helping clients like you obtain the protections they need can also help you find greater peace in your own life.
