Such a situation is a very difficult one for both parties, and there is no use in punishing yourself by feeling guilty.  Once the decision to divorce has been made, you will have to begin the process of deciding the practical aspects of a separation like property division, Parenting Time, Child Support, and Alimony.

In this day and age, most states including Colorado allow for the provision of what is called a "No Fault" divorce. This means that neither party assigns blame to the other for the dissolution of the marriage. The law recognizes that simple cause and effect cannot be applied to complex interactions such as marriage and provides a graceful way for both parties to exit the relationship.  Divorce law has become very sophisticated over the years facilitating an equitable division of property and debts through comprehensive accounting processes.  The days of parties professing that they received an unfair and inequitable division of their marital estate is almost obsolete with the state of the art formulas and equations utilized by sophisticated law firms in arriving at an equitable division of a marital estate. 

Clawson & Clawson, LLP, is on the leading edge of such technology and has established professional relationships with seasoned experts in almost every area of Family Law to support your position.  In Colorado, equitable is not always equal, and having a knowledgeable firm to introduce this discretionary position to the Court is paramount.

Legal Separation

A Legal Separation in Colorado operates much like a divorce action possessing much of the same emotional dynamics between the parties, but at a lesser extreme.  Parties filing for a legal separation often times do so in hopes of lessening the emotional impact between the parties, or to maintain a specific marital status for property or health issues.  A Legal Separation closely mirrors the same legal process as dissolution of marriage.  Often time's parties thereafter decide to request that the legal separation be converted to a divorce action, and the appropriate paperwork is filed with the court to initiate such an action.  Having a knowledgeable Colorado divorce lawyer/attorney to assist you in distinguishing the benefits of separation versus divorce is not only beneficial from a legal standpoint, but also provides you with future legal protection based upon your particular needs.

Declaration Of Invalidity

People make mistakes; however, often times a person has no recourse from making a big mistake in getting married at the wrong time in your life, or to the wrong person.  Typically, you know immediately when making such a mistake, but sometimes it might take a few months.  What some people are unaware of is that sometimes the marriage can be reversed legally, provided such an application is made to the Court timely.  The legal process to having your marriage declared invalid is discretionary in the eyes of the Court; however, most times than not, it is important enough to one or another of the parties to at least try.  The experienced Colorado-based team at Clawson & Clawson, LLP, is seasoned in the process of having a marriage declared invalid in the most cost effective way possible.
