About Our Colorado Divorce and Family Law Practice
While every couple’s circumstances are unique, all divorces generally involve the same key issues. When going through the divorce process, it is important to address these issues thoughtfully and with a focus on obtaining the best possible outcome for yourself long-term. Regardless of your individual circumstances, experienced divorce attorney Rebecca Gumaer can help you feel confident that you are fully prepared to make informed decisions about issues including:
Property Division
All divorcing couples must divide their marital property. In the absence of a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, divorcing couples must divide their marital property “equitably” under the circumstances at hand. Rebecca has extensive experience helping her clients resolve complex property distribution issues involving real estate, retirement accounts, art collections, and other assets.
Child Custody
If you have minor children from your marriage, developing a post-divorce parenting plan will be a key aspect of the divorce process. When dividing parental rights and parenting time, divorcing spouses in Colorado must focus on their children’s best interests. Rebecca can help you apply this standard within the specific context of your divorce.
Child Support
Divorcing parents must address child support during the divorce process as well. Calculating child support is a legal matter that requires careful consideration of several factors. When spouses agree on their respective financial rights and obligations during the divorce process, they can incorporate this into their divorce settlement agreement. However, divorcing spouses can also seek a child support order in court when necessary.
Spousal Support (Spousal Maintenance or Alimony)
Calculating spousal support (also referred to as spousal maintenance or alimony) requires careful consideration of several factors as well. These include the spouses’ respective past earnings, future earning capacity, and physical health, among others. Whether you are expecting to have to pay spousal support or you will need to seek alimony as part of your divorce, Rebecca can assist with all aspects of the process.
Other Important Issues
Along with these common issues, divorcing spouses may need to address a variety of other important issues as well. Experienced attorney Rebecca Gumaer can help you address the following issues (among others) with your family’s future in mind:
- College savings
- Debt division
- Family-owned businesses
Dealing with these issues (among others) requires an informed approach and a long-term perspective. Whether you are anticipating a contested divorce or an uncontested divorce, Rebecca can advise you throughout the process and advocate on your behalf as necessary. Rebecca is equally comfortable in informal divorce negotiations, divorce mediation, and divorce litigation, and she is passionate protecting her clients’ interests—both now and in the future.
