Your Rights And Options In Family Law
We can discuss your case at a consultation, but below are a few areas to start with:
- Grounds for divorce: A no-fault divorce can be used when a marriage is irretrievably broken, so further grounds – and proving fault – are not necessary.
- Child custody and visitation laws: Parents need to divide both physical and legal custody, separating parenting time from decision-making authority.
- Child support and alimony guidelines: Child support can be used to offset some of the cost of raising the child and paying for necessities like housing, clothing, and transportation. Alimony is used to help a spouse who assumed they would be financially supported.
Our firm can help you understand your rights and options by providing personalized guidance and representation.
Why Choose Our Greeley, Colorado, Family Law Office
There are a lot of family law attorneys in Northern Colorado. Here is what makes our firm worth calling:
- We know Weld County: Our attorneys have spent more than a decade handling family law cases in Greeley and the surrounding area. We know how the local courts operate, what Weld County judges tend to prioritize, and how to build a case or reach an agreement that actually sticks. That local knowledge is something you cannot get from a firm that treats every Colorado county the same.
- Third-party recognition: We have earned recognition from Super Lawyers Rising Stars, the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and top-tier rankings on Expertise.com for both Fort Collins and Greeley. These come from outside evaluators who assess legal performance, not from us describing ourselves. We think that distinction matters when you are trying to figure out who to trust.
- Two offices, one team: We have offices in both Greeley and Fort Collins, which means clients across Northern Colorado can meet with an attorney close to home. Whether your case is filed in Weld County or Larimer County, you are not driving an hour each way to get face time with your lawyer.
- We do both mediation and litigation: Some clients want to resolve things quietly and cooperatively. Others are in situations where they need someone willing to fight in court. We do both, and we let your situation drive the decision rather than defaulting to whichever method is easier for us. If mediation makes sense, we pursue it. If litigation is what it takes to protect your interests, we are ready for that too.
- Free phone consultations: We do not ask you to commit to anything before you have had a real conversation about your situation. Every new client starts with a free phone consultation so you can ask questions, understand your options, and decide whether we are the right fit before moving forward.
- You work with an attorney: When you call with a question, an attorney picks up or calls you back. Your case is handled by someone who knows the full picture, not passed around between assistants or paralegals. That is the kind of direct access that makes a real difference when things get complicated.
If any of that resonates with what you are looking for, we would be glad to talk. A free phone consultation is a good place to start.
