Reliable Men’s Divorce Lawyers in Denver

Oftentimes, men find themselves confused identifying their rights and obligations in a divorce case. Others may feel overwhelmed by family court and assume that they should just go with whatever their partner demands. However, this is simply not true.

Men and women have equal rights, including the right to visit and even keep custody of their children, the right to a fair and equitable distribution of assets and properties, a right to the fair distribution of debts, and other similar concerns.

If you are a man, facing divorce or other family legal concerns, our divorce attorneys for men in Denver can mean the difference between protecting your rights and going through a bad divorce.

Services We Offer

We understand how stressful divorce and other family law concerns can get, especially if children are involved. Through the following services, we always aim for a swift, amicable, but decisive resolution:

Child Custody

Fathers are just as likely to be the primary caretakers of their children as mothers. If you feel that you are better equipped than your spouse to prioritize the best interest of your children, we can help you defend your right to custody.

Child Support

Whether there are disputes in the initial child support agreement or certain life changes have taken place to merit another look at child support payments, we will champion your case and aim for a fair and sensible amount.


Divorce Mediation

Ending a marriage is difficult enough without court involvement. Divorce mediation gives you and your spouse the option to collaborate to resolve the details of your divorce under the guidance of a neutral third-party. This can include asset distribution and parenting plans.

I'm so thankful for Jennifer and Christina. They helped get my child custody case settled BEFORE going through a long lengthy court battle. I had a bad experience with another law firm so I was hesitant but they completely diminished any doubt I had. Communication was the most important thing for me and they exceeded that expectation without taking advantage. I highly recommend them

We utilized Jennifer Lewis & team to work with us on drafting up and executing a cohabitation agreement between myself and my long term boyfriend. We had initially met with her at the end of February. Because of the virus, our communication shifted to email conversations to finalize the agreement over the course of a few months. Ms. Lewis and her team were beyond professional, extremely responsive, and easy to work with regarding updates, changes, and questions. She even helped us to find and coordinated a remote notarization over Zoom with a certified notary to execute the agreement. I would absolutely use her again for any needs we had in the future.

At the onset of my divorce, I was scared, fragile, and anxious about what I was about to go through. Jennifer and her team helped to understand my needs and concerns and provided the tools that I needed to help me to feel prepared, supported, and understood. Jennifer and her team were warm, professional, and present throughout the entire process. While I don't wish divorce on anyone, if you must go through it, I couldn't imagine a better team than Lewis & Matthews, PC to be by your side.

    There are several things a client can ask a divorce lawyer, but people always seem to be at a loss for words when they finally get an opportunity to talk an attorney about their legal issues. It may be because they don’t know how to phrase their questions properly, or they’re not sure whether they’re asking the right questions. But there are definite mental barriers that keep people from seeking the answers they need for the problems they’re facing. >
    Married couples may file for dissolution of marriage if they face serious problems and want to live separately. Divorce means the marriage is over and the couples may legally pursue other relationships. In a no-fault divorce state like Colorado, a spouse can file for a divorce without the consent of the other spouse. >
    In Colorado, the timeline for obtaining a divorce is 90 days, but it may take up to a year. Complex cases may take over a year to finalize. Watch as Jennifer Lewis explains in detail the factors that affect the length of time a divorce in Colorado will take: >
    Sometimes people are not ready to move forward with a divorce but they have reached a place where they need help with clarifying their issues and understanding what would happen if they did choose to move forward with a divorce. Our Divorce Assessment, Pre-Planning, and Coaching practice is designed to give people who are contemplating divorce the information, education and coaching they need to. >
    Under Colorado statute, marital properties will be divided between the parties. The court will make the decision of who gets what based on the following factors: Each spouse’s contribution to obtaining the property The value of each spouse’s share Each party’s economic situation at the time of divorce Marital properties are all the properties acquired by either spouse during the marriage. Gifts and inheritances are not considered marital property, however the interest accrued during the marriage may be. It is advisable to consult with a divorce attorney from Lewis & Matthews to make certain that the agreement for the division of property is reasonable. We will help you understand the process and determine which assets are marital and which ones are not.
    The courts in Colorado determine the allocation of parental responsibilities, which include parenting time and decision-making. The court will make a decision based on what is in the best interests of the children. It will take into account the wishes of the parents and the children when it comes to parenting time, but it will not grant either parent’s wishes if they are not in the children’s best interests. The court will look into numerous factors before deciding on which wishes to grant.
    Depending on not only your situation but also outside factors, the court may assign the decision-making responsibility to one parent only or to both parents. Each parent may also gain responsibility for specific issues or areas that will determine the child’s welfare and future. >
    It often depends on the discrepancies in income between husband and wife. Initially, judges will often formulate a Temporary Order before permanent spousal support can be decided. As far as the Permanent Order goes, the judge will take a number of things into account, including: how long you were married, what the standard of living was during the marriage, and the financial state of both parties—including income potential. >
    Assets must be deemed either “marital property” or “separate property”. If property is agreed to be “marital”, it will be equitably (not the same as “equally”) divided according to Colorado’s statutes. Property obtained prior to the marriage is “separate,” but any increase in value during the marriage is marital property. For example, if one spouse purchased a home in 1995 (before the marriage) for $80,000, but wants to sell it in 2008 (after the divorce) for $150,000, then the increase in value($70,000) is considered “marital” property. >
    Individuals may wonder what power they have to enforce their maintenance agreement once their divorce is final? Your maintenance agreement is part of the Court order that finalizes your divorce. When a Court order is not followed, the Court has broad powers to enforce that order. Given the circumstances of your case there are a number of options to assure that maintenance is paid in accordance with the Court order. >
    In any court case, there's always a chance that things won't go your way. When that happens, you aren't powerless. The Colorado court system gives you two ways to respond to unfavorable rulings: Ask for an appeal. These are usually only granted if you can prove the existence of an error or omission that significantly impacts the case. File for reconsideration of final judgment. You won't have to present new evidence for this option. However, you will have to give a good reason to justify the second look. Either option has a short timeframe within which to file, and it is ideal to consult with a family lawyer immediately after the court has made its final ruling. The quicker you act, the better your chances of winning your appeal. >
