Need a Colorado Springs divorce lawyer/attorney? If you're contemplating divorce, or you've been served divorce
papers, you're probably concerned and perplexed about your future.
Fortunately, you don't have to sort it out alone. The divorce lawyers/attorneys at Marrison Law of Colorado Springs can explain your rights and your options and help you make good
decisions right from the beginning. Mistakes you make today could
impact the final order in your divorce, and you can't afford to take
chances with things like child custody, child support, your property and
possession of your home.
There are two basic issues that need to be resolved in a divorce in Colorado Springs.
First, the couple must figure out how they want to divide their
property. Second, if there are children, the couple must create a plan
to raise them. If you are in the military, however, there are issues
surrounding military divorce that civilians generally do not have to handle.
We have laid out some divorce facts below. If you are considering
divorce, you need a qualified divorce attorney to advise and guide you.
Otherwise, it is all too easy to forget to include assets, or not have
a contingency plan for when conflicts do arise.
Colorado is an equitable division state. The property split doesn’t
have to be 50/50, although it often ends up that way. Marital property
includes everything, minus gifts and inheritance, which a couple has
acquired during the marriage. This list can include houses, cars,
military pensions, 401(k) accounts, and other personal property. Equity
and interest are also included.
The amount of interest and 401(k) money that the other spouse
receives depends on how long the couple has been married. The sooner
you get a divorce, the less capital gain the other spouse gets in the
final divorce property settlement.
Even if the parents are no longer together, they have to work
together if there are children involved. Parents (or the court) must
decide where their children will live, who will make decisions about
their lives, and how much child support the non-custodial spouse will
pay. Unless the two parties agree on another, higher number, child
support is calculated in a formula determined by statutory child
support guidelines.
Unless you have no kids, property, or income, securing a divorce
lawyer is absolutely necessary.
