Some of the things you can do include:

Consider Family Mediation
Colorado family law courts frequently require that the parties mediate disputed issues. Through divorce 
mediation, you can receive your fair share of family assets at much lower cost than going to court. As a Colorado attorney, Mrs. Stark often represents clients who desire a mediated settlement in divorce, child custody, and other areas of family law.
Court Considerations That Drive the Outcome of Your Case
Colorado family law courts must consider certain legal requirements when deciding divorce, child custody and other matters. For example during a divorce the judge must resolve:
- spousal maintenance
- child support
- Property
- Child custody (parenting time)
In a child custody case the court considers the best interest of the child and other factors to reach a conclusion. This is why it is important to have an attorney to help you establish you rights. Not all clients understand these legal requirements. It helps your confusion and fears by learning how the process works. Family law litigation is not always about who is the better person.
For more information, see Colorado Rev. Stat. §§ 14-10-115 et seq. and Colorado Division of Child Support Enforcement for more information on child custody laws and Colorado law or visit Colorado Supreme Court Decisions
