What Is Family Law?
This legal practice area deals with issues that involve relationships within the family. This includes marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, and many others. Family law attorneys can draft legal documents and represent their clients in negotiations or in family court proceedings.
In terms of marriage, Colorado is an “equitable distribution” state. This means that during a divorce, marital property is divided in a court-deemed equitable manner.
Colorado is also a “no-fault’ divorce state”. Individuals wanting to file for a divorce do not need to prove any grounds for their decision apart from alleging that their relationships have become “irretrievably broken”. There is no need to prove infidelity, desertion, abuse, or other reasons.
In order to make sure that all these state-specific details are considered, working with a Denver family lawyer is the best course of action.
