Our Family Law practice consists of the following specific areas of focus.
- Dissolution of Marriage
- Legal Separation
- Marital Agreements
- Complex Property Valuation and Division
- Valuation of Professional Practices, Closely-Held Businesses, Partnerships and Trusts
- Appeals
- Mediation

Perhaps no area of law touches our clients' lives more than family matters. We are experienced in all areas of family law, providing compassionate and strong representation in traditional areas
such as marital agreements, legal separation, dissolution of marriage, declaration of invalidity, and child custody. Our attorneys handle domestic relations cases with complicated property valuation
and division issues, including professional practices, businesses, partnerships, retirement and stock option plans, and real estate. We are experienced in analyzing separate property claims
involving gifts, inheritances or pre-marital assets, and the proper treatment of those assets in a divorce. Clients turn to us for valuing and dividing the assets and liabilities of the marital
estate; structuring security arrangements for complex property and family support obligations; assessing need and claims for spousal support, including amounts and terms if one party is eligible
to receive such support from the other; resolving disputes concerning child custody and parenting time, including international custody issues under the Hague Convention; determining child support;
and resolving claims for attorneys' fees.

In a divorce case, the firm's attorneys successfully argued that the law of a foreign jurisdiction determined that assets of a trust were the sole property of the client, rather than
the marital property of the client and the client's spouse. That result prevented the application of the law of Colorado, which would have characterized the assets as marital property, and saved
several million dollars for the firm's client.
