Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start the process of divorce?

Starting a divorce in Aurora involves filing a petition with the appropriate district court. Given the complexities of filing, having a family attorney guide you through is advisable. At The Harris Law Firm, we will help establish grounds for the divorce and assist in gathering required documentation. Colorado requires at least one party to have lived in the state for 90 days before filing. Understanding the residency requirements and the filing procedure is critical, and having legal representation can simplify this. Our team provides guidance every step of the way, from document preparation to court representation, ensuring you’re well-supported throughout the process.

What should I consider when seeking custody arrangements?

In Colorado, custody decisions are made based on the child’s best interests. Factors include each parent’s ability to provide for the child, the child’s connection to home and community, and the mental and physical health of all parties involved. At The Harris Law Firm, we work with you to advocate for a custody arrangement that prioritizes your child's welfare. Our attorneys understand local court dynamics, offering you strategies designed to align with Aurora’s legal standards while protecting your family’s well-being.

How does mediation work in family law cases?

Mediation is a voluntary process where both parties in a dispute work with a neutral third-party mediator to settle the dispute. It's particularly useful in family law for resolving parenting plans or asset distribution. Mediation offers a less adversarial alternative to court proceedings and often results in faster, mutually agreeable outcomes. At The Harris Law Firm, we facilitate mediation by preparing clients with legal advice to ensure their interests are represented effectively. We believe in creative solutions and open dialogue, striving to find common ground that benefits all involved, while easing the emotional strain associated with family disputes.

Can I modify child support agreements?

Yes, child support modifications in Colorado are possible when there is a significant change in circumstances, such as changes in income, employment status, or custody arrangements. To modify an existing agreement, you must file a motion with the court demonstrating the change in circumstances. The Harris Law Firm assists clients by preparing and filing the necessary documents, representing them in court hearings, and negotiating terms that reflect their current needs and capabilities. Our legal team has extensive experience with Colorado child support laws, helping ensure modifications are handled efficiently and in the best interest of the children involved.
