CONSCIOUS DIVORCE LAWYER
Divorce Attorney in Boulder & Denver
“Most divorcing couples are able to reach a workable and reasonable resolution with the help of a conscious mediator. However, sometimes working together in mediation is not possible or appropriate, even for reasonable people. In that case you need a conscious divorce lawyer to be your representative...."
Legal Advocacy with Strength and Integrity
Sometimes a more collaborative approach isn’t possible from the start, or it doesn’t work once you give it a try. In that instance, we also offer legal representation for our clients.
Our team of divorce lawyers at Conscious Family™ Law & Mediation in Colorado can help you navigate the confusion of divorce.
Navigating the conventional divorce process can be confusing and fraught with peril. Conscious Family divorce lawyers are committed to guiding you expeditiously and cost-effectively. We NEVER drive up conflict to drive up costs. We will advocate for you fiercely, while in concert with our holistic values; we know that family law is about people’s lives. We take our responsibility to you very seriously.
Empowering You to Determine the Outcome
While traditional divorce lawyers in Colorado approach their representation of you with an eye toward having the issues decided by a judge in a trial, Conscious Family divorce attorneys are focused on achieving positive outcomes, out of court. This empowers you to determine the outcomes for your family. When we come onboard as your strategic representatives, you can trust that we will work to:
Identify all key issues with the divorce
Make sure you understand all dimensions of your case
Help you develop a strategy for optimal outcomes, while keeping relational damage to a minimum, even in the face of aggressive opposing lawyers
Execute an effective strategy out of court, with you in the driver’s seat
Child Support
Child support laws differ significantly across states, so it is helpful to consult a knowledgeable family lawyer in your state. Specifically in Colorado, the amount of child support that is awarded is impacted by the number of children involved, the income of each party, and the time the child spends with each parent. Then, the base amount of child support is adjusted to include expenditures like health insurance.
Requests for altering existing child support orders may be made if there is evidence to show a change in child support amount and a permanent reason for change in child support.
Committed to maximizing resources
Conscious Family attorneys are focused on minimizing material, emotional, and energetic costs to all parties in order to preserve family resources. We will sit down and give you an honest assessment of your options and help you understand the costs associated with each. Traditional lawyers may feel justified in fanning feelings of hurt, betrayal and blame. While this may seem supportive in the moment, it is only the lawyer who benefits through escalating conflict, by increasing his or her fees. Meanwhile, the divorced parties are left to pick up the pieces of their shattered familial relationships and depleted marital estate.
A Powerful Negotiator
If you elect to have a Conscious Family lawyer negotiate on your behalf, we are mindful about the emotional impact on everyone involved whenever lawyers enter a dispute. While traditional lawyers tend to be unaware of the way their warlike language increases conflict, we expertly advocate for you without needlessly inflaming the situation, employing mature communication skills to facilitate resolution of disputes.
If negotiations fail and trial before a judge is unavoidable, we seamlessly transition you to a highly skilled trial lawyer who can ensure that you will be given the highest considerations afforded by our justice system.
Child Custody
Child custody cases are of various types in Colorado. Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (APR) cases take place between unmarried parents. Another type usually follows a divorce and involves decisions of physical custody (the parent that the child will live with) and legal custody (the parent making life decisions) of a child.
The Conscious Family™ Approach
Empowering you
Our primary goal is to empower you to have the best possible outcome from your divorce. Our role is to:
Identify the issues that are important to you and your children (if any)
Help you understand the aspects of your case
Create strategies for optimum outcomes and minimizing damage, even when other lawyers are participating
Keep you in the driver’s seat whenever possible
Maximizing resources
It’s sad, but it’s a fact that many attorneys in family law fan the flames of conflict and aggression between divorcing parties. They may emphasize betrayal, blame, and past hurts to keep spouses fighting rather than working together for a collaborative divorce. Of course, this puts more money in their pockets, when divorce is expensive enough as it is.
At Conscious Family™ Law & Mediation, we understand divorce is costly, both in terms of money and emotionally shattered family relationships. We help you maximize both of those resources by working to keep expenses reasonable for your budget and striving not to antagonize spouses who are already hurting.
