Divorce and Legal Separation

Results That Matter for Colorado Families
Real families achieve real results through proper legal representation. One client facing a difficult custody dispute was able to secure equal parenting time after the other parent initially sought to limit contact to supervised visits only. Through careful documentation and strategic negotiation, we demonstrated our client’s strong parenting abilities and commitment to the children’s welfare.
Another client successfully modified a child support order that had become financially devastating due to job loss and medical expenses. The original order would have required payments exceeding 75% of available income. We presented complete financial evidence and secured a fair modification that allowed our client to maintain housing stability while meeting support obligations.
A recent divorce case involved a complex business valuation and division. The couple owned a successful service business that required ongoing management and customer relationships. We worked with financial professionals to establish fair valuations and negotiate a buyout agreement that protected both parties’ interests while preserving the business operations.
Colorado family law requires thorough preparation and attention to detail. In one contested custody case, the other party’s attorney failed to properly serve financial disclosures within the court deadlines. This procedural error strengthened our client’s position and led to favorable temporary support orders that continued through the final decree.
These outcomes result from careful case preparation, understanding of Colorado law, and strategic advocacy. Every family situation involves unique circumstances that require individualized approaches. What works in one case may not apply to another, which is why personalized legal counsel makes such a difference.

Why Choose Traditional Family Law, P.C.?
Family law requires more than just legal knowledge—it demands an understanding of how legal decisions affect real families. We combine thorough preparation with practical solutions that work for your specific situation.

Colorado Springs families benefit from local knowledge and experience with El Paso County courts.

Communication is essential during stressful legal proceedings. We keep you informed about case developments, explain legal procedures in understandable terms, and respond promptly to your questions and concerns. You’ll never wonder what’s happening with your case or what to expect next.
We believe in transparent fee structures and honest communication about costs. Family law cases can be expensive, and surprise bills and hidden charges can make difficult situations even worse. We discuss fees upfront and provide regular updates about case expenses so you can make informed decisions about your legal strategy.
Many family law cases benefit from negotiation and settlement rather than lengthy court battles. We’re skilled negotiators who work to achieve favorable outcomes without unnecessary litigation costs. However, when court action is necessary, we’re prepared to advocate aggressively for your interests.
Colorado law provides various options for resolving family disputes, including mediation, collaborative divorce, and traditional litigation. We help you understand which approach best serves your family’s needs and goals. The right strategy depends on your specific circumstances, the other party’s level of cooperation, and the complexity of issues involved.

Not sure if legal representation will make a difference in your case? Family law matters rarely improve by waiting—deadlines pass, evidence becomes harder to obtain, and temporary arrangements often become permanent through inaction.

Your initial consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your situation confidentially and learn about your legal rights and options. We’ll review your circumstances, explain relevant Colorado laws, and help you understand the likely timeline and costs involved in your case.
Don’t let fear of legal fees prevent you from protecting your interests and your children’s welfare. Many people assume they can’t afford an attorney, but the cost of poor legal outcomes often exceeds the investment in proper representation. Custody arrangements, support orders, and property divisions can last for years, so getting them right the first time saves money and stress.
