Common questions
We may have the answer you're looking for here.
Before you sign in or send a message, here is what most people ask. If your question is not here, or the answer depends on your facts, that is what a consultation is for.
Colorado imposes a minimum waiting period of 91 days from the date the other party is served or jointly files before a court can enter a decree. That is the floor, not the average. An uncontested matter with a complete agreement can finish close to it. A contested case involving property valuation, contested parenting time, or expert testimony commonly runs a year or longer, driven by the court's docket as much as by the parties.
Often, no. Most Colorado family matters resolve by agreement, and most jurisdictions require the parties to attempt mediation before the court will hold a contested hearing. You will still have at least one brief appearance for the court to review and enter your agreement, but that is very different from a trial.
By the best interests of the child, using the factors set out in C.R.S. 14-10-124. Those include the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to encourage a relationship with the other, the child's adjustment to home and school, and any history of domestic violence or child abuse. Colorado has no presumption of an equal split. The court builds a schedule around what the evidence shows serves the child.
By statutory formula, not by discretion. It takes both parents' gross incomes, the number of overnights each parent has, the cost of health insurance for the children, and work-related childcare. Courts deviate from the formula result only where they state a reason on the record. The estimator in Resources will get you a realistic range before you ever call.
Yes, but the standard depends on what you are changing. Child support and maintenance generally require a substantial and continuing change in circumstances. Modifying decision-making or a parent's primary residence carries a higher bar than adjusting a parenting schedule. Bring the current order to the consultation; the answer turns on what it actually says.
The Denver metro area and the surrounding counties, including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, and Larimer. Local practice varies more than people expect, and which division your case lands in genuinely affects timing and expectations.
Trouble signing in?
Access is issued when your engagement begins. If you have not received an invitation or cannot sign in, contact the firm and we will restore access.
A note on confidentiality
The portal is hosted by MyCase, a legal practice management platform built for law firms. Never send confidential case details through social media or unsecured email. Use the portal, or call the firm.
Still not answered
If the answer depends on your facts, it needs a conversation.
Everything above is general information about how Colorado handles these matters. None of it is advice about your case, because advice requires knowing what actually happened. If your question turned out to be more specific than the answer here, that is the normal outcome, not a failure of the page.
