Understanding Colorado Family Law
Colorado adheres to “no fault” divorce principles, meaning misconduct is not considered in divorce, alimony, or property division cases. Divorce requires proving the marriage is “irretrievably broken” with no reconciliation possible.
Parental responsibilities replace ‘custody’ in Colorado, focusing on child welfare for living arrangements, visitation, and major decisions. The courts aim for equitable parental involvement, without favoring mothers or fathers.
Child support calculations follow the “income shares” model, considering what parents would likely spend if they were still together. This model ensures child support reflects true financial responsibilities.
Assets accumulated during marriage are divided equitably but not always equally, aiming for fairness based on the circumstances of each case.
Whether you need help with a contentious divorce or other family law matters, call us at (303) 416-7086 for expert assistance.
