We Help Spouses Successfully Navigate All Aspects of the Divorce Process
Our practice is devoted to helping clients successfully navigate the divorce process, legal separations, and other family law matters. If you are preparing to go through a divorce, experienced divorce attorney Rebecca Gumaer can help you make informed decisions based on your individual circumstances. This applies to all aspects of the divorce process in Colorado, including:
Property Division
In Colorado, divorcing spouses must divide their property based on the principle of equitable distribution. “Equitable” does not necessarily mean “equal;” and, while a 50/50 split will make sense in some cases, it won’t make sense in others. Rebecca can assist with determining what is equitable in your case, and she can help you make informed decisions about everything from your furniture and other household items to more complex assets like retirement accounts and business interests.
Debt Division
Spouses must divide their marital debts during their divorce proceedings as well. Different types of debts can present different considerations (and different challenges), so it is important to work with an experienced family lawyer who can help you avoid overlooking any potential debt-related concerns.
Child Custody (Parenting Time)
In Colorado, divorcing parents must develop a child custody arrangement (or parenting time schedule) that reflects their children’s best interests. If divorcing parents can reach an agreement, they have a significant amount of flexibility to develop a schedule that works for everyone. Englewood divorce lawyer Rebecca Gumaer has helped many of her clients come to terms during the divorce process—even when they initially appeared to be facing irreconcilable differences regarding parenting time.
Child Support
Divorcing parents who need to address child custody during their divorce must also address child support. Both parents have a legal obligation to financially support their children post-divorce; and, while the Colorado Child Support Guidelines address many aspects of calculating child support, the Guidelines won’t answer all support-related questions in all cases. For example, divorcing parents will often need to address higher education expenses separately.
Spousal Maintenance (Spousal Support)
When warranted, accurately calculating spousal maintenance (spousal support) can be important for both spouse’s financial future. Alimony payments can vary widely from one divorce to the next, and calculating alimony requires a thorough assessment of both spouses’ income history and earning potential, among other factors.
