By building a solid foundation of family law experience over the years, we have gained invaluable knowledge and understanding about how divorce in Colorado really works. The law firm’s family law practice is divided into two general areas: mediation representation and litigation.

Basic requirements: The only ground for dissolution of marriage in Colorado is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. To file for a Colorado divorce, one party must be a resident of the state for at least 90 days before filing. The petition for dissolution of marriage may be filed in the county where either party resides.

Resolving matters through divorce mediation

While cases can go directly to Colorado family courts, most judges automatically order the parties into mediation. This style of divorce litigation is less formal, and it allows you to have more of a say in the matter. Watson & Associates believes that it is always better to try a most less expensive form of resolution, such as mediation to resolve family law disputes.

Get real divorce answers, honest advice and clear direction. Although divorce can be challenging, you don’t want to make irrational decisions. You want a divorce law lawyer that can establish available law that supports your position in Colorado family courts. Therefore, Watson family lawyers will help you to make informed decisions, provide you with guidance and steer you in the right decision. This can include military divorce matters or out of state cases involving Colorado jurisdiction.  Both Denver and Colorado judges respect our approach to divorce litigation simply because our attorneys make it a common practice to apply actual case law in preparation for court. This approach makes the judge’s job a lot easier. Another important tip is that the key to any complicated surprises is to comply with all mandatory disclosures at the beginning. You must turn over true financials to the other side. Failure to do this will seriously impact your case.

Aggressive representation

When mediation cannot resolve contested matters, we then proceed to court. Our Denver divorce lawyers understand that aggressive representation is not being loud or obnoxious. Instead, it means systematically preparing the evidence and case law to convince a judge to rule in your favor. As mentioned earlier, as client advocates for divorce in Colorado, Watson has litigated some of the most complex cases against the “larger” law firms. At the end of the day, our focus was on results and not the “large” law firm. Divorce in Colorado uses the same laws regardless of who the opposing law firm may be.

Keeping the cost of CO divorce cases to a minimum. Oftentimes, we present options to our Colorado family law clients. Litigation fees can be expensive. For example, it is always better to seek negotiation with the other party versus running out of financial resources. However, our Denver lawyers do not take short cuts to supplement sound and aggressive representation.

The minimum allowable time for your divorce decree: Colorado divorce can never be granted in less than 90 days. The reality is that it takes longer sometimes because of the highly disputed issues and the courts’ docket. If the parties agree to everything and there are no children or there are children but both parties are represented by attorneys, a divorce decree may be obtained by submitting appropriate documents to the court by mail after the 90 days. You should always talk to your divorce lawyer to see if there is anything you can do to not delay the process.
