Colorado Family Law/Divorce Attorney

Scope of Family Law/Divorce in Colorado

Family Law/Divorce deals with problems arising out of relationships and children.  There are essentially three subsections within the law:

1. Laws relating to marriage and children.
2. Laws relating to issues that arise within marriages and parental rights.
3. Laws relating to the termination of marriage and the associated issues.

Within these broad segments, a family faces an overabundance of complications, both emotional and legal that requires special attention and understanding.  With the laws changing at light speed, it is necessary to have an attorney specializing in Family Law, as each State has its own dynamics and differences in implementation of the law.  The divorce lawyers/attorneys at Clawson & Clawson, LLP, in Colorado Springs are experienced in comprehension and application of the law to sensitive family situations.  Our team of dedicated paralegals and staff are empathetic and attentive to your every need and emotion.  

Family LawIs Different

Unlike most other cases, Family Law can be very emotionally challenging.  The parties know each other very well and, at one time, were probably very close.  Going through a divorce could possibly be the single most traumatic experience a person could ever be made to endure.  Having a compassionate Family Law/Divorce team on board to assist you during this process is crucial.  At Clawson & Clawson, LLP, you will find that special kind of lawyer/attorney -- one who truly cares about you and the challenges you are facing.

In addition, Family Law/Divorce changes more often than any other area of law due to the shifting mindsets of society and new understandings of the various facets of morality that present themselves almost daily.

At Clawson & Clawson, LLP, our divorce lawyers/attorneys understand the trying situations that can arise from relationships.

New Directions For Family Law

Family Law has traditionally been structured to produce a winner and a loser.  Quite often, one party takes the other to court to hurt them.  Child Custody becomes a weapon of revenge instead of a procedure to ensure the wellbeing of the child.

In order to avert this trend, new avenues are being explored in Family Law that lead to a more amicable settlement between the parties and result in an increasingly healthy environment for all concerned.  These include mediation, fostering a stronger attempt to reconcile the parties and an atmosphere of forgiveness.

Additional Sections Of Family Law

Over the years, Family Law has been extended to cover even areas that do not traditionally come within the scope of the issues relating to marriage.   Clawson & Clawson, LLP, practices in the following areas of Family Law:

1. Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce)
2. Legal Separation
3. Declaration of Invalidity
4. Common Law Marriages
5. Allocation of Parental Responsibility (parties not married, but who have children)
6. Custody (parental rights, parental responsibility and parenting time)
7. Child Support
8. Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
9. Paternity
10. Adoption
11. Grandparent Visitation
12. Domestic Violence, Protection Orders, and Restraining Orders

New Understanding Of Motherhood And Fatherhood

Due to the growing acceptance of artificial insemination and surrogate motherhood, traditional understandings of what it means to be a parent are changing.  These practices create several potential problems that may require legal intervention.  The need for these laws is particularly urgent since they often deal with the rights and the status of an unborn child who will require protection once he or she is born.
