Family Law FAQ
Colorado Springs Family Law: Key Considerations
Navigating family law matters in Colorado Springs requires an understanding of the specific laws and procedures that apply in our state and local jurisdiction. Here are some key considerations:
1. Divorce
Aviso Law, LLC handles all types of divorce cases, including uncontested divorces (where both parties agree on all issues), contested divorces (where there are disagreements requiring court intervention), and high-net-worth divorces involving complex property division.
2. Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (Child Custody)
Colorado courts prioritize the "best interests of the child" when determining custody arrangements. This involves evaluating various factors, including:
- The child's wishes (if they are mature enough to express them)
- Each parent's relationship with the child and their ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment
- The child's adjustment to their home, school, and community
- The physical and mental health of all individuals involved
3. Parenting Time (Visitation)
Parenting time schedules outline when each parent spends time with the child. Colorado courts encourage both parents to have significant involvement in the child's life, unless it's not in the child's best interests.
4. Child Support
Child support is calculated based on a statutory formula that considers both parents' incomes and the number of children. The goal is to ensure the child maintains a similar standard of living in both households.
5. Division of Property
Colorado is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Separate property, owned before the marriage or received as a gift or inheritance, is generally not subject to division.
6. Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
Spousal maintenance may be awarded if one spouse needs financial assistance after the divorce. Factors considered include the length of the marriage, each spouse's income and earning capacity, and the marital standard of living.
7. Military Divorce
Military divorces involve unique considerations, such as the division of military retirement benefits and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). It's essential to have an attorney familiar with military family law, like those at Aviso Law, LLC.
8. Relocation
If a parent wants to relocate with a child, they must obtain court approval or the other parent's consent. The court will consider the child's best interests when making a decision.
9. Legal Separation
Legal separation is an alternative to divorce where couples remain legally married but live apart and resolve issues such as property division, child custody, and support. It can be a stepping stone towards divorce or a long-term arrangement.
10. Domestic Violence and Protection Orders
Colorado law provides protection for victims of domestic violence. If you are experiencing domestic violence, you can seek a protection order to prevent further abuse and ensure your safety and that of your children.
