Addressing Changing Financial Needs
It is not uncommon for a divorce and the expenses therein to take a toll on your finances. If you find that your family law issues have made it too difficult for you to pay your bills or your mortgage, our lawyer can help you file for bankruptcy. In addition, you may need to modify your estate plan to ensure that your ex-spouse does not inherit your assets.
What Factors Are Considered In Child Custody Decisions?
The primary consideration in child custody decisions is always the best interests of the child and what arrangement will benefit them the most. Factors that may influence custody decisions include the child’s age, health, emotional ties with each parent, each parent’s living situation and the capability of each parent to provide for the child’s needs. If the child is old enough, the court may also consider their wishes in making a final decision. Our experienced family law attorney works closely with clients to present a compelling case that reflects these factors and supports the child’s well-being.
What Is Spousal Support, And How Is It Determined?
Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a payment that one spouse may be required to make to the other following a divorce. Spousal support payments depend on various factors, including the duration of the marriage, each spouse’s financial condition, earning capacity and contributions to the household, as well as the age and health of both parties. Whether you need help seeking support or are the paying party, our role is to ensure that the determination of spousal support is fair and equitable, reflecting the specific circumstances of your case.
How Do I File For Divorce In Colorado?
Filing for divorce can seem daunting, but at The Bruntz Law Firm, LLC, we strive to make the process as smooth as possible. The first step is to ensure that you meet the residency requirements in Colorado, which typically involves having lived in the state for at least 91 days prior to filing. You will then need to file a petition for dissolution of marriage with the court, which outlines your wishes regarding division of assets, child custody, and other pertinent issues.
How Does Property Division Work In Colorado?
Property division in Colorado during a divorce follows the principle of “equitable distribution.” This means that the court divides marital property not necessarily equally but fairly, based on several factors. These factors include each spouse’s economic circumstances, contributions to the marriage (including contributions as a homemaker), the value of the property each spouse will receive and any increase or decrease in the value of each spouse’s separate property during the marriage. The court will also consider the economic circumstances each spouse will face after the divorce, such as their ability to earn and their future financial needs.
At The Bruntz Law Firm, LLC, our lawyer guides our clients through the complexities of property division, ensuring they understand how laws apply to their specific situation and helping them achieve a fair outcome. We can negotiate on behalf of our clients during settlements or represent them in court if necessary to ensure the property division respects their rights and interests.
