Family Law / Guardianships / Juvenile
Family law is a legal practice area that focuses on issues related to family relationships. This includes matters such as divorce, child custody, support arrangements, adoption, and domestic partnerships. Family law is the process by which people resolve disputes, and family lawyers provide legal guidance to ensure the well-being of families during challenging times. Good family lawyers are both great advocates and careful problem-solvers.
Family Law and Guardianship Lawyer in Colorado Springs
There are many kinds of family law and many ways it can be practiced. I am a problem-solver and a creative thinker who will help you navigate the difficult dynamics of a family law or guardianship case in Colorado.
Divorce, Dissolution, and Legal Separation
This is the process by which people end a marriage or civil union. It involves dividing property and debt, allocating parental responsibilities, and determining support. I have substantial experience in all areas of family law in Colorado and hope I can assist you.

Whether your issue is complex financial cases or high-conflict custody, I have the experience to problem-solve with you and advocate for you.
Post-Decree
If your orders need to be changed or enforced, I have experience with the process for helping. Sometimes child custody orders no longer work, or sometimes the law allows or even requires a change in spousal or child support. Choose a lawyer who knows the system and can help resolve these disputes efficiently.
Grandparent Rights
The Constitution and Colorado law have specific rules about how grandparents and other non-parent caregivers can interact with the family law system. I have worked on many complex cases with difficult and delicate family dynamics, and I'm confident I can help your modern family navigate the sensitive issues that arise when more than just parents want to protect a child's best interests.
Guardianship
Another way that anyone interested in the welfare of a minor or an adult who cannot care for themselves is through guardianship. I have worked with many guardians throughout the years to establish and maintain guardianship, and I find these cases interesting and rewarding. Contact me today to see if I can help your family.

There are many reasons that legal parentage of a child need to change. Hire an attorney who knows the process and understands the complex constitutional and legal dynamics of adoption.
