A mother facing her ex-spouse’s out-of-state relocation request needed to show the move wasn’t in the children’s best interests. We built the case around school and community stability rather than attacking the other parent.
A couple with a multi-million-dollar estate wanted out of their marriage without destroying their finances or their co-parenting relationship. Single-mediator process resolved everything in a fraction of the typical litigation cost.
A father paying maintenance set during high-earning years lost his position in a layoff. We secured a post-decree modification reflecting his actual ability to pay, without a drawn-out contempt fight.
Our client was told by two other firms to accept a minimal schedule. We documented his day-to-day caregiving role and negotiated a true 50/50 plan the court approved.
The marital estate included a business one spouse founded before the marriage. We used valuation experts to separate marital appreciation from separate property, keeping the business intact and operating.
A couple in agreement on nearly everything needed help getting the details right: home transfer, retirement division, and a parenting schedule. One attorney-guided process, no adversarial filings.
After both parents became unable to care for their child, the grandparents needed standing and a workable plan. We guided them through Colorado’s non-parent custody statute to a stable placement.
A client’s self-filed divorce left her share of a military retirement unenforceable. We reopened the issue and obtained a proper division order protecting benefits she’d nearly lost.
Where power imbalance made negotiation impossible, we litigated, securing protective orders, exclusive use of the home, and a support award while keeping our client’s costs controlled and expectations honest.

Our client’s ex-husband accepted a job offer 900 miles away and petitioned to relocate with their two children, ages 7 and 10. She came to us afraid she would either lose meaningful time with her kids or be dragged into a scorched-earth custody war she couldn’t afford, the kind of fight that can cost each parent tens of thousands of dollars and leave children caught in the middle for years.
We started with the question we ask in every custody matter: what does a good outcome look like for these children in five years? Rather than building a case attacking the father, we focused the court on Colorado’s best-interests factors: the children’s ties to their school, their pediatric care team, their extended family, and both parents’ actual caregiving history.
Before the hearing, we proposed custody mediation with a child psychologist involved. The father declined, so we prepared thoroughly for court while keeping settlement channels open.
The court denied the relocation of the children. Our client retained primary parenting time in Colorado, and we negotiated a long-distance parenting schedule giving the father extended summer and holiday time plus weekly video calls, because the goal was never to erase him from the children’s lives.
“The client who understands that a custody fight is rarely won, only survived, is the client who ends up with the best outcome for their kids.”
