Complete Family Law Services in Colorado Springs

At Traditional Family Law, P.C., we handle the full spectrum of family law matters affecting Colorado Springs families. Our approach combines thorough legal preparation with practical solutions that work for real families facing difficult transitions.

Divorce and Legal Separation

Colorado’s no-fault divorce system allows couples to end their marriage without proving wrongdoing, but this doesn’t mean the process is simple. Property division, spousal maintenance, and parenting arrangements require careful negotiation and documentation.

• Uncontested divorce for couples who agree on major issues

• Contested divorce involving complex financial or custody disputes

• High-asset divorce cases require a detailed financial analysis

• Military divorce with unique pension and deployment considerations

We help you understand Colorado’s equitable distribution laws and work to protect your financial interests while keeping costs reasonable. Many divorces settle through negotiation, avoiding the expense and uncertainty of trial.

Child Custody and Parenting Time

Colorado courts focus on the best interests of children when making custody decisions. This standard considers many factors, including each parent’s relationship with the child, stability of home environments, and the child’s adjustment to school and community.

• Initial allocation of parental responsibilities

• Modification of existing custody orders

• Relocation cases involving moves within or outside Colorado

• Grandparent visitation rights

Parenting plans must address decision-making responsibilities, residential schedules, holiday arrangements, and communication between parents. Well-crafted agreements prevent future conflicts and provide stability for children during family transitions.

Child Support and Spousal Maintenance

Colorado uses specific guidelines to calculate child support based on both parents’ incomes, parenting time, and other factors. However, these calculations can become complex when parents have variable income, own businesses, or have exceptional circumstances.

• Initial support establishment and modifications

• Enforcement of unpaid support obligations

• Spousal maintenance calculations and duration

• Deviation from guideline amounts when appropriate

Support orders must reflect actual financial circumstances and comply with Colorado statutes. Incorrectly calculated support can create ongoing problems for both parents and children. Contact us to ensure your support arrangements are fair and legally sound.

Protect Your Children’s Financial Security

Why Colorado Springs Families Choose Our Firm

Family law requires more than legal knowledge – it demands understanding of local court procedures, judicial preferences, and community resources. We’ve handled hundreds of family law cases in El Paso County courts and understand what works in Colorado Springs.

One client faced a complex custody dispute involving allegations of parental alienation. Through careful documentation and strategic advocacy, we helped preserve his relationship with his children and established a parenting schedule that prioritized the children’s stability. The case resolved without trial, saving thousands in litigation costs.

Another family needed help with a high-asset divorce involving multiple business interests and retirement accounts. We worked with financial professionals to accurately value assets and negotiate a settlement that protected both parties’ long-term security. The collaborative approach avoided contentious litigation while achieving fair results.

A mother struggling with unpaid child support received help enforcing her support order through wage garnishment and asset seizure. Within months, she began receiving regular payments that helped provide for her children’s needs. Consistent support enforcement protects children’s financial stability.

These outcomes result from thorough preparation, clear communication, and strategic advocacy tailored to each family’s unique circumstances. We don’t promise unrealistic results, but we do commit to protecting your interests throughout the legal process.

Understanding Colorado Family Law

Colorado family law continues evolving through legislative changes and court decisions that affect how cases are resolved. Recent modifications to maintenance statutes, updates to parenting time guidelines, and changes in property division rules impact family law cases throughout the state.

The Colorado Springs area includes several judicial districts with different local rules and procedures. El Paso County courts may handle cases differently from surrounding jurisdictions. Understanding these local variations helps develop effective strategies for your specific situation.

Collaborative divorce and mediation offer alternatives to traditional litigation for families willing to work together toward solutions. These approaches often cost less than contested court proceedings while giving families more control over outcomes affecting their children and finances.

Military families face unique challenges due to deployment schedules, frequent relocations, and federal laws affecting military benefits. Colorado Springs’ large military population means our courts regularly handle military family law cases, but legal representation familiar with military issues remains essential.

Domestic violence situations require immediate attention and focused legal strategies. Colorado’s protection order statutes provide tools for ensuring safety, but navigating these procedures while protecting your rights requires experienced guidance.
