Experienced Colorado Child Custody Lawyer
When parents are facing a divorce or ending their relationship, it is imperative to maintain the best interests of their children in all decisions. As a mother or father, the choices you make today may strongly impact your child's future. There is no telling what the impact of a combative, stressful process will be on your child.
As an experienced child custody attorney in the Summit County and Eagle County, Colorado, area, I understand the importance of making the right choices for your children. I will work with you to develop a plan that safeguards the welfare of your children while being mutually acceptable to both parties.

Dedicated Representation Concerning Your Child's Welfare
In Colorado's Fifth Judicial District, it is strongly preferred that a child continue to have a relationship with both parents. Because no one knows your child's needs better than you, the court prefers parents work out a child custody agreement for themselves according to state guidelines.
As your child custody lawyer, it is my job to help you craft a document that resolves issues of visitation (parenting time), division of parental responsibilities and child support. In my experience, I find it is often in everyone's best interests to seek an agreement, but I will take your case to trial, if necessary, to protect your child.
If we are unable to reach an agreement and must instead opt for trial, the courts require mediation before additional proceedings can take place. As an experienced family mediator, I am able to assist you in presenting your viewpoint to the other side, in hopes of preventing a time-consuming, costly trial.
Allocation of Parental Responsibility
In working toward a child custody agreement, many factors must be considered. You will need to make decisions on where your children will live and how they will spend their time. You will also determine who has the authority to make life decisions involving the children regarding medical care, education and religion.
