Domestic violence profoundly affects every aspect of a family law case. Colorado Courts are required to consider any history of domestic violence or abuse when allocating parental responsibilities and determining maintenance. In addition, the presence of domestic violence may restrict a parent’s parenting time if it endangers the child’s physical health or emotional development. Protection Orders, both temporary and permanent, provide immediate legal safeguards for individuals and children at risk.
Our firm represents clients seeking Protection Orders and those responding to them, always with attention to the broader family law implications. We understand that domestic violence intersects with parental responsibilities, property division, and financial support in complex ways, and we ensure that safety considerations are woven into every aspect of our representation.
