Prerequisites for Filing a Divorce

Colorado divorce law requires you to be a resident for at least 90 days before filing for divorce. This can entail more than just physically being in the state. However, continuously residing in Colorado makes things less complicated. After filing for divorce, you must serve the other party and allow them the opportunity to respond. You must also show that the marriage is irretrievable broken – meaning there is no possibility of getting back together.

Minimize Disputes Early and Save Litigation Costs

When you retain a Denver divorce lawyer at Theodore Watson & Associates, the first order of business is to pinpoint the matters that can be quickly resolved. Divorce litigation can be expensive and resolving disputes tends to also reduce cost. You should only have to litigate matters before the court that cannot be resolved despite good faith efforts. Our attorneys will help you to negotiate matters such as:

  • Marital property division
  • Parenting time and decision making
  • Resolve retirement disputes

 

Preparedness is Key in a Contested Divorce

Sometimes anger and frustration lead divorcing spouses to more contested disputes. Not all matters are easy to resolve. However, when litigation becomes unavoidable, the best course of action is to have a Colorado family law attorney that is prepared to fight for your rights. At Theodore Watson & Associates, our key traits are:

  • Maintaining constant and effective communication with our clients
  • Quickly analyzing the legal issues for litigation
  • Acquiring legal authority (case law) to support your position
  • Gathering all evidence on the record to secure a favorable outcome

Protecting Your Children is Critical

Our Colorado family law attorneys understand the complexity and seriousness of a child’s involvement during divorce. You want a divorce law lawyer that is skilled in Colorado child custody laws – one that can get you past anger and frustration and help you to focus on how Colorado divorce courts review child custody cases. At our law firm, we help you to focus on the ‘best interest standard’ -the standard set forth in Colorado child custody laws.

We help analyze your schedules for parenting time (formerly visitation), prepare sound parenting plans and help you resolve contested matters. We also resolve out of state custody disputes.

Using Mediation to Resolve Contested Matters

Our Denver divorce lawyers also represent clients in divorce mediation. Courts tend to suggest mediation as the forum to resolve contested disputes. Mediation is viewed as a less formal setting. Divorcing spouses can sometimes solve matters quickly and in a more cost-effective manner. Colorado divorce courts are bogged down with cases and mediation could possibly get matters resolved in a faster fashion.

Military Divorce Assistance

Colorado is home to several military members. As divorce lawyers, we also represent active duty members in military divorce. There are unique rules that apply to armed services members. At Theodore Watson & Associates, some of our attorneys have served in the military and understand the lifestyle and experience of the military. We are experienced in handling:

  • Deployed military members
  • Military spouses and dependents
  • National Guard Personnel called to active duty
  • Military retirements
