FAMILY LAW CASES HANDLED BY KNOWLEDGEABLE FAMILY LAWYERS
Over the years, we have continued to expand our services. You would be hard-pressed to find a family law case our Denver family lawyers are not equipped to handle.
ADOPTION
A loving and supporting environment is one of the greatest gifts you can give to a child. When that child is adopted, that gift is even nobler. Unfortunately, the adoption process is not always an easy one. Depending on your demographic and how specific your adoption criteria are, you may face red tape and disappointments along the way.
We assist families with all aspects of international and domestic adoptions. Our Denver family law lawyers handle the legalities of your adoption so that you can concentrate on your new family.
One article suggests that if homemakers received salaries for the work they completed, they would receive a median salary of $178,201 for their round-the-clock contributions to family life. In spite of this, society undervalues the contributions of stay-at-home parents.
Alimony helps to bridge the financial gap for this sacrifice and others during a divorce. However, divorce should not lead to financial crises. Our Denver family lawyers help you establish an equitable amount of spousal support.
In the past, when parents divorced, one parent became the primary or even sole guardian. More often than not, women played this role. Though women still overwhelmingly handle parenting, in most households, men are more involved in parenting than ever before. Consequently, to sever ties after divorce could be devastating for a child.
Psychologists and Denver courts are now increasingly in favor of joint custody, though, not always a 50/50 split. Our divorce attorneys protect your parental rights to raise your children in an appropriate and supportive home.
Children thrive when they have access to more resources. Ensuring the contribution of two incomes to their upbringing is one way to ensure this. When parents separate, child support offers an opportunity to ensure the noncustodial parent continues to contribute financially. Note that the less time one parent spends with a child, the more they may become liable for in child support.
Our Denver Family attorneys can help ensure that you receive or pay an equitable amount of the financial support required to raise your children in a healthy, happy environment.
Finding the right Colorado attorney to navigate spousal support laws and parenting time agreements can be challenging. Making changes to one’s family is emotional, and it is imperative that you fully trust your team of attorneys to protect your most precious possession – your family. Though your dynamic may be changing, you can trust Johnson Law Group to treat you with the utmost respect and care during this tender time.
As dedicated family law attorneys, we know that each changing family situation is unique and will approach each case with the individuality and care it deserves. We are experts in Colorado family law and are here to help you every step of the way.
The ideal divorce involves an amicable separation, compromising on all aspects and filing uncontested, with little intervention from a Denver family law attorney. This is fast becoming a trend across all demographics, but it does not represent the reality for everyone.
Colorado divorce laws can be complex, and couples may not know their full rights. Because of this, even in amicable divorces, working with an attorney may better protect both parties’ interests and rights. Through mediation or litigation, our divorce law firm can help you gain the most equitable results from your divorce, including fair distribution of assets, division of the marital home, child support payments, and child custody rights.
When couples are willing to try an amicable approach to divorce but still need to resolve a few areas of disagreement, mediation can help. During mediation, we serve as a neutral party to help both parties come to mutually beneficial agreements.
When there are children and other dependents involved, we also help guardians keep their interests at the forefront of all negotiations. Mediation puts the decisions in your hands, and can often provide more expedient, predictable results than a trial. Our skilled negotiators can help you obtain the most equitable divorce settlement.
PRENUPTIAL & POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Any legal matter involving a family member may feel like a stressful one. The more controversial or complex the area and the more parties involved, the worse it may feel.

As advocates for positive outcomes in your case, we also handle many of the difficult and unpleasant parts of the case for you. If you need to make court appearances or participate in other ways, we can also prepare you for what to expect and coach you on how to respond.
