Divorce and Legal Separation

Divorce is a complex and emotional process that requires both legal expertise and a compassionate approach. We guide our clients through every step of their divorce, from asset division, and child custody to spousal support and maintenance. Our experienced legal professionals are committed to helping our clients achieve their goals and are dedicated to helping them achieve the best possible outcome. Whether your case is amicable or highly contested, we provide strategic solutions tailored to your unique needs.

​

Divorce or Legal Separation is one of the most emotionally and financially challenging events a person can face. It’s not just another legal proceeding - it’s a significant life transition that affects your family, your finances, your home, and your future. At AWH Family Law, we understand that every divorce and legal separation is unique, and we are committed to helping you navigate this process with clarity, strength, and confidence.

​

Our team of experienced and compassionate legal professionals provide personalized legal support tailored to your specific circumstances. Whether you are pursuing a collaborative, uncontested divorce or facing a high-conflict, litigated case, we are here to protect your rights and guide you toward a resolution that aligns with your goals and values.

​

By combining the knowledge and advocacy of a skilled attorney with the efficiency and accessibility of a licensed legal paraprofessional, we deliver high-quality representation that is both cost-effective and deeply responsive to our clients’ needs. From start to finish, you can count on our team to stand beside you with clarity, compassion, and a strong commitment to your future.

​

We assist clients with every aspect of the divorce process, including:

​

• ​Asset and Debt Division: We work to ensure that all marital property is properly identified, accurately valued, and divided equitably under Colorado law. Whether your case involves complex financial portfolios, family-owned businesses, retirement accounts, real estate holdings, or more modest assets, we provide clear guidance and strong advocacy every step of the way. Our goal is to protect your financial interests and help you achieve a fair division that reflects both your contributions to the marriage and your future needs.

      

      It’s also important to understand that not all property is considered marital. Colorado law distinguishes between marital property, which is subject to      

      division, and separate property, which generally includes assets/debts acquired/incurred before the marriage, inheritances, and certain gifts. We help you 

      identify and protect separate property and ensure that any increase in value or commingling of those assets is properly addressed in the division process.

​

• Spousal Support and Maintenance: Whether you are seeking spousal maintenance or being asked to provide it, we offer skilled legal guidance to help you navigate this complex area of family law. In Colorado, courts must consider all statutory factors when determining fair and appropriate spousal support. These include but are not limited to the length of the marriage, income disparities, and each party’s future earning potential. We ensure you understand every aspect of this analysis so you can make informed decisions and present the strongest possible case.

 

• Parenting Time and Decision Making: Your children’s well-being is our top priority. We help parents create parenting plans that support the child’s best interests while promoting healthy co-parenting relationships. When custody disputes arise, we advocate with sensitivity and strength. Please see our Parenting Time and Decision Making information center for more information.

​

• Temporary Orders: Divorce can take time, but urgent issues often can't wait. We help you secure temporary court orders to address immediate needs - such as finances, parenting time, decision-making, spousal support, and use of the marital home while your case is pending. These arrangements provide stability and protection until a final agreement is reached or a final court ruling. Throughout every stage, we prioritize communication, transparency, and thoughtful strategy. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we tailor our representation to your needs. Whether that is through negotiating a fair settlement or working together to advocate for your interests in court, we partner with you to find the best path forward.

​

We recognize that the legal process can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our team stands beside you to provide the legal knowledge and compassionate counsel you need to move forward with dignity and security.
