Divorces, like marriages, are similar in some regards and unique to themselves, at the same time. More often than not, legal issues are uncomplicated, save for those involving extensive and/or complex marital assets. However, even for partners who acknowledge the end of the emotional ties that bind, the demise of the marital relationship touches deeper, even, profoundly--particularly when children are involved. Some partners are able to effect a dissolution of their marriage amicably, while others are contentious throughout the proceedings and for years beyond. The challenge for any conscientious divorce lawyer is to define the rights and responsibilities, such that the client understands the laws which govern the proceedings and to achieve their objectives within the framework of the law, mindful of the best interests of their children, in the present circumstances and for the future. As when choosing a doctor, the client must be confident that his or her attorney understands needs and objectives that must be satisfied, even when the client has difficulty in the decision-making process, since such proceedings can be emotionally draining and physically exhausting and may cloud the judgment of the person facing this challenge. Serious issues regarding debts and assets to be divided may be effective under such stressful circumstances and a dedicated and compassionate attorney serves a very useful purpose, here, to assist in making such important decisions.
I encourage clients to seek marital counseling and to give the matter serious thought before commencing the dissolution of marriage process. A marriage is worth fighting for and should be saved, whenever possible. However, once a person realizes that the marriage is over and that there is no possible reconciliation, then he or she should be prepared to know their rights and their responsibilities. Colorado, for example, is a no fault divorce state. Blameworthiness for the failure of a marriage is not the criteria by which the Courts decide issues related to child custody or the division of marital property and debts. The objective of a dedicated divorce lawyer is to make the divorce process as simple and painless as possible. My office provides free consultation to assist in the decision-making process before, during and after divorce. The client will find aggressive, sensitive, compassionate representation at this law firm--beginning with free consultation.
