We blend empathy with experience and always strive to achieve favorable results that last – results that help you move forward with confidence.

Family Law Services We Provide

Divorce

Divorce is rarely easy, but with the right attorney, it doesn’t have to define your future. Our Denver divorce lawyers represent clients in both contested and uncontested cases throughout Colorado. We help with every aspect of the process – from filing and financial disclosure to final judgment and post-decree enforcement.

We protect your assets, your parental rights, and your dignity. Whether your goal is to reach a fair settlement through negotiation or settlement negotiations have not been successful and we need to prepare for trial, Fisher & Associates, P.C. has the experience and drive to achieve the best possible outcome.

We help clients with:

Divorce filings and responses,
Property and asset division,
Spousal maintenance (alimony),
Child custody and support issues,
Temporary orders and emergency relief, and
Mediation and litigation.

Child Custody and Parenting Time

Your relationship with your children is priceless – and it deserves protection. Our Denver child custody attorneys work to create parenting plans that prioritize your child’s stability and well-being while protecting your rights as a parent.

Whenever possible, we help parents resolve custody disputes through negotiation or mediation, but if the other side refuses to cooperate or when your child’s safety is at risk, we are fully prepared to aggressively litigate your case in court.

Colorado courts decide custody based on the “best interests of the child.” We make sure that your voice – and your child’s needs – are front and center in every discussion.

We handle:

Parenting time allocation and schedules;
Allocation of decision-making authority (education, healthcare, religion);
Custody modifications;
Relocation cases; and
Enforcement of custody orders.

Child Support and Spousal Maintenance

Money is often one of the biggest concerns during and after a divorce. Our attorneys work to ensure that any financial arrangements are fair, based on accurate information, and enforceable.

We help parents establish, modify, and enforce child support orders based on Colorado’s guidelines, but we also know that every case has unique financial realities. We work with experts to analyze income and expenses, uncover any hidden assets, ensure that the numbers used to make any support determinations reflect the truth of your financial situation.

When spousal maintenance (alimony) is involved, we fight for fair results that protect your financial stability without imposing unfair burdens.

Our team can assist with:

Child support establishment and modification,
Spousal maintenance establishment and modification,
Income verification and asset investigation, and
Enforcement of unpaid support or maintenance.

Property Division and High-Asset Divorce

When significant assets are on the line, experience matters. Colorado is an equitable distribution state—meaning property must be divided fairly, not necessarily equally. At Fisher & Associates, P.C., we represent business owners, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals who need a law firm that understands complex financial structures. We work with financial experts to value material assets and businesses, to understand the tax consequences of various asset and debt allocations, and to advocate for fair marital property distributions.

Our divorce attorneys work with industry experts to handle the allocation and division of:

Real Estate Interests,
Business Interests,
Investment portfolios and retirement accounts,
Stock options and deferred compensation, and
Trusts and inheritances.

When necessary, we work with forensic accountants to ensure that no assets or debts slip through the cracks, because when it comes to your future, precision equals protection.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

A strong relationship is built on trust – and part of that trust comes from clarity. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are not about expecting a marriage to fail; they’re about creating transparency and eliminating uncertainty should the unexpected happen.

At Fisher & Associates, P.C., we help clients across the Front Range draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to ensure that they clearly establish property ownership, debt responsibility, and spousal support expectations. We ensure these agreements meet Colorado’s strict legal standards for validity and enforceability so that they not only reflect your financial goals and expectations but also stand up to challenge in court.

We assist with:

Prenuptial agreement drafting and review,
Postnuptial agreement drafting and review,
Financial disclosure compliance, and
Agreement enforcement and challenges.

Post-Decree Modifications and Enforcement

Life changes after divorce, and sometimes your court orders need to change too. Whether it’s a new job, relocation, or evolving financial circumstances, we help clients pursue modifications to custody and parenting time, child support, and spousal maintenance orders.

If your ex-spouse refuses to follow court orders, we take swift, decisive action to enforce your rights and ensure compliance. Our attorneys know how to use both negotiation and court remedies to protect your interests and restore fairness.

We handle:

Child support and custody modifications,
Enforcement of unpaid support,
Contempt proceedings, and
Relocation and parenting time disputes.

Domestic Violence and Protection Orders

Safety is always the top priority. If you or your children are facing threats or abuse, Fisher & Associates, P.C. moves quickly to protect you and ensure your safety. We help domestic violence victims obtain protective orders (restraining orders) and connect them with supportive community resources.

If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, we provide strong, respectful representation to ensure that your side is heard and your rights are protected.

We help clients with:

Emergency protection orders,
Permanent protection orders,
Defense against false allegations, and
Custody and parenting time issues involving domestic violence.

No one should face domestic violence alone. Schedule a free consultation today. We’ll help you take back control of your safety and your life.

The Colorado Family Law Process

During the divorce process, understanding what comes next can make all the difference. Here’s how the process typically works in Colorado, and how Fisher & Associates, P.C. helps you every step of the way.

Consultation and Case Planning
We begin with a detailed consultation, where we get to know you, your story, your goals, and any specific challenges you face. Together, we create a roadmap for success.
Filing or Responding to a Petition
Family law matters start when one party files a petition with the court. We prepare and file all paperwork with the court on your behalf promptly and accurately.
Temporary Orders
In many cases, temporary orders are needed to clarify how custody, support or property-related issues will be handled while the divorce case is pending. When necessary, we move quickly to seek these temporary orders to protect your rights and safeguard your stability during this interim period.
Financial Disclosures and Discovery
Shortly after the divorce petition is filed, both sides must exchange detailed financial information. We work with you to prepare your disclosures within the allotted time and to confirm that you have received full and accurate disclosures from the other party.
Negotiation and Mediation
Colorado courts often require parties to attempt to mediate their disputes before they can be brought before the court. Our attorneys negotiate effectively and strategically to reach fair, durable agreements in mediation — saving you time, stress, and money.
Trial (if necessary)
If a fair settlement cannot be reached in mediation or otherwise, our legal team is fully prepared to go to trial. Our courtroom advocacy is focused, evidence-driven, and results-oriented.
Final Orders and Post-Decree Matters
Once your case concludes, we make sure final orders are entered and enforceable and continue to be available to help you adapt to post-decree changes as life evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a divorce take in Colorado?

Most divorces take three to nine months from filing to final decree, but complex or contested cases can take longer. Colorado law requires at least a 91-day waiting period between filing and finalization.

Do I have to go to court for my family law case?

Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, if an agreement can’t be reached, our legal team is fully prepared to represent you at any hearings or at trial.

What is the difference between legal and physical custody?

Legal custody (decision-making) involves the authority to make big decisions affecting a child’s life including decisions involving education, health, and religion. Physical custody (parenting time) involves the establishment of a schedule governing when children live with each parent. Colorado uses the term “parental responsibilities” to include both legal and physical custody.

How is child support calculated in Colorado?

In awarding child support, Colorado uses statutory guidelines that consider both parents’ incomes, parenting time, and expenses such as childcare and health insurance. We ensure all financial data considered by the court is complete and accurate so that child support awards are fair and sustainable.

What if my ex violates a custody or support order?

If your ex violates a custody or support order, you can file a motion to enforce the order or to hold the other party in contempt. Once the decision is made, we act quickly to bring the violation before the court and compel compliance.

Do I need a prenuptial agreement?

Prenups aren’t just for the wealthy — they’re for anyone who wants to eliminate uncertainty and establish clear financial expectations should the unexpected happen. We’ll help you decide whether a prenuptial agreement makes sense for you and if so, craft an agreement that is fair and safeguards your financial security.

Can I modify child support or custody later?

Yes. If circumstances change substantially — like income, health, or relocation — you can request a modification of a child support or custody order. We will help you file for modification and work to achieve the outcome that makes sense for you and your family.

What if domestic violence is part of my case?

In any case involving domestic violence, safety comes first. We will help you obtain both temporary and permanent protection orders, as needed, and make sure any custody or visitation arrangements account for your and your child’s safety and well-being.

Do you handle same-sex family law cases?

Absolutely. We represent all families and handle same-sex divorce, custody, and parentage matters with compassion, skill and respect.

How do I get started?

It begins with a conversation. Schedule a free consultation with one of our Denver family law attorneys. We’ll take the time to listen, explain your rights, and outline your legal options so that you can make informed decisions and begin the process of reclaiming your life and your future.
