Colorado law recognizes that the circumstances existing at the time of a Decree may not continue indefinitely. Parenting time and decision-making arrangements may generally be modified when modification serves the best interests of the child. Child support may be modified when there is a change in financial circumstances reflecting more than a 10% change in the amount of support being paid. Maintenance may be modified with a change in circumstances that makes the current order unconscionable.
Post-decree proceedings also encompass enforcement actions: contempt motions when a party fails to comply with court orders, disputes over the interpretation of settlement agreements, and issues that arise in the implementation of complex property division provisions. These matters often require the same level of legal and financial analysis as the original case.
Our firm represents clients in post-decree matters, from negotiating agreed modifications to litigating contested enforcement actions. We approach each matter with an understanding of both the applicable legal standards and the practical realities of our clients’ evolving lives.
