Child Custody

One of the most important issues our Colorado family law firm handles is child custody. It is important to ensure the child is going to be taken care of and that each parent is involved in the process. There are several different types of child custody. A parent with "legal custody" has the right and obligation to make decisions about the child’s upbringing, such as schooling and healthcare. In a "joint custody" situation, the child lives with one parent, but both parents spend significant amounts of time with the child and share decision-making responsibilities. "Sole custody" gives one parent complete custody and decision-making responsibility of the child. Contact a divorce attorney serving Denver, Boulder, and Colorado today.

Child support

After a divorce, both parents have a responsibility to support the child or children. The parent who retains custody usually needs financial support from the other parent. When one person has sole custody, payments are made to the custodial parent. When the parents share joint custody, child support is usually based on how much each parent earns and how much time the child spends with each parent. Other factors involved include the needs of the child, the income and needs of the parent, and the standard of living before the divorce.

In Colorado, a court will make all decisions regarding child support. For this reason, it is very important to hire a divorce attorney for child support proceedings. A divorce attorney at our Colorado firm will work with your needs to determine which is the best arrangement for you and your child.

The experienced divorce attorney of Tenge Law Firm in Broomfield, Colorado also handles the following divorce issues:

  • Parenting Time - Visitation
  • Property Division
  • Debt Allocation
  • Maintenance (Alimony)

Post-decree

Post-decree litigation takes place after the granting of a divorce, dissolution of marriage, or legal separation. Post-decrees deal with the enforcement of judgments made in divorce proceedings. Sometimes one party determines that the other has violated an order of the court and files a motion to have the order enforced and the person punished. However, the majority of post-decree issues involve children. Issues such as alimony (maintenance), child parenting time, and decision-making responsibility are often modified during the post-decree process. The representation of a divorce attorney is vital during post-decree proceedings. Contact Tenge Law Firm, serving Boulder and Denver, Colorado, today for more information.

Modification

It is possible to modify your child support conditions, but it must be approved by a judge to be enforceable. In most cases, a judge will not change an agreement unless the parent can prove there are circumstances that require a modification. Modifications can be temporary or permanent. Circumstances that might require modification include medical emergencies, temporary economic or medical hardship, or the temporary inability to pay. Permanent modification can be awarded if there are changes in child support laws, cost of living increases, or if either parent receives additional income from remarriage.

Enforcement

A divorce attorney is also necessary when a former spouse refuses to abide by the terms of the original divorce agreement or court order. For example, child support must be paid to the custodial parent on the date specified on the order. If the parent fails to pay or is behind in payment, they are called “in arrears,” something the courts take very seriously. In most cases, the court will order the missed payments be paid in full immediately or in installments. If your ex-spouse has missed a child support payment, you may have an enforcement case.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

In order to protect their assets, many people make prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Prenuptial agreements are signed before the marriage takes place, and are designed to ensure that each person’s assets remain with them in case of divorce. They can also ensure that assets go to their children in the event of a death, and name who will take custody of the children after the divorce. Postnuptial agreements serve the same purpose, but are signed after the marriage takes place. Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are voluntary, but legally binding. Therefore a divorce attorney must be involved to ensure the agreement protects your best interest. For more information about prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, contact a divorce attorney at Tenge Law Firm in Colorado.
