Filing For Divorce

Upon filing for divorce, an automatic temporary injunction takes effect prohibiting both parties from transferring or encumbering marital property, canceling insurance, or removing a minor child from the state of Colorado without consent or a court order. At this stage, you need an attorney who knows how to ensure you are doing everything right—including making sure your spouse does, too.

Because divorce can be an emotionally and financially complex process with long-term consequences for both parties, having legal guidance ensures your rights are protected every step of the way.

Going To Trial

We work hard to reach agreements that allow you to move forward in life. However, we understand the vital importance of having an attorney with the trial skills needed to present your best argument to the Court. At Searcy Friedman Law, we identify key issues early on so we can develop the most effective strategy for your case. Our experienced litigators understand that effective advocacy requires the knowledge and flexibility to assess and introduce the most powerful evidence protect your interests.

Spousal Maintenance

Whether you need financial assistance after the divorce or your spouse asks that you provide ongoing support, maintenance—commonly known as alimony—is frequently litigated in divorce.

While it’s true that maintenance guidelines exist in Colorado law, the Court considers many factors when determining the amount and duration of maintenance, including the impact of taxes. Given that the maintenance statute is ever-evolving, you need a lawyer with a strong understanding of the legal standard and how it applies to your case.
