Divorce

Nobody goes into a marriage anticipating that it will end in divorce, but when it does, the resulting conflict is often confusing, frustrating, and painful – especially when there are children involved. At Divorce in Colorado, we focus on helping you get to a satisfactory resolution of all the essential issues while keeping what is best for the children as our top priority.

Mediation

With extensive courtroom experience, collaborative law training, and completing mediation training through the Colorado Bar Association with Judith Mares Dixon in 2007, many clients choose Divorce in Colorado to work as a neutral with the parties to resolve their divorce and family law related issues through mediation.

Some choose to mediate before hiring attorneys to determine if lawyers will need to advise the clients separately regarding their respective interests. With an exceptional reputation in the legal community, many clients with counsel choose Divorce in Colorado to meditate or participate in settlement conferences to assist with divorce resolution for the parties.

Child Support

We encourage parents to first design the best parenting plan for their child before worrying about child support. The misconception that a parent should fight for more overnights with their children to limit the amount they pay in support is often a problem. Whether you pay the most available parent or pay to have your children with you, the cost of having kids before and after divorce is a financial reality.

While the list of “income” is long and detailed, many of our client’s combined annual gross income exceeds the State guidelines of $360,000. This means the calculation for child support may be such that the conversation becomes about what the child’s needs are and what is a reasonable amount for each parent to contribute to support the child.

Should the issue go to trial, the judge will have the discretion to order the child support when the gross income exceeds the child support guidelines.

Relocations

Divorce In Colorado works with families throughout Colorado, and quite often, one parent is unable to remain in the area after Divorce.

Are you getting Divorced and want to move away?
Have you tried to live in the same place after the divorce and have new opportunities elsewhere?
Do you or your spouse need family support – and they live in a different State?

You may need to negotiate your parenting plan with parents living in different States or modify a parenting plan after you decide to move. Divorce In Colorado can help you determine and negotiate a parenting plan that will serve the best interests of your children and let you live in the place best for you! Divorce in Colorado has the expertise in all the family law needs to represent your family.

Did you enter court orders that are not working for your family? Did you try to do your divorce – fill out some paperwork- and realize you should have talked to a lawyer?

You may need to change:

Child Support

Property distributions that are not fair and equitable.

If a spouse ever decides not to disclose assets during a divorce is a good idea; know that Colorado law has a 5-year look back, and you may be able to re-open your divorce for reallocation of assets if necessary.

Paternity

Divorce In Colorado will assist you with determining who the father of the child is, negotiating parental rights, and calculating child support. If someone is accusing you of being the father, and you are not sure, nor interested in paying 19 years of support for a child that may not be yours, contact us now to help you.

Parental Alienation

Too often, divorcing parents attempt to limit, ruin, or prevent the other parent from seeing or being with their children. At Divorce In Colorado, we firmly believe and advocate for the fact that.

If the other parent is wrongfully limiting your parenting time, access to the children, or otherwise not following the court-ordered parenting plan, Divorce In Colorado will help.

Our time to parent is so brief! Don’t waste your time or your children’s through expensive custody battles and litigation if you don’t have to.

We work with our clients to defend and advocate for their parental rights and the rights of their children to be with and to be loved by them. We have incredible colleagues and mental health professionals to address the real issue before taking legal positions.

Thornton Client Testimonials

She is fair and disciplined and will try her best to accommodate your needs. Her experience, knowledge and ability to listen and respond kindly with warmth gave me confidence in pushing forward with this important transition in my life. My ex and I had an amicable divorce in which our divorce proceedings were completed in less than the 91 day minimum period. Please count on Teddy Ann Barry, PC and her wonderful staff for your legal divorce needs. I am glad I did. Thank you.

Teddi Ann Barry is not only one of the smartest attorneys I know, but also one of the best and brightest. She is constantly working on her business, practice, and taking great care and consideration for her employees and clients. She handles her clients with care and concern, unlike attorneys who handle their cases by the file number. As Teddi Ann Barry puts it, "She focuses on the fix, not the fight" and therefore is able to come to the best possible outcome for her client.

Teddi Ann Barry was my divorce attorney in 2015. Her representation was well balanced between aggressively looking out for my best interests and being laid back enough not to use time and money unnecessarily. Teddi Ann and her staff were professional, cordial, and empathetic. Overall, I was very please with her services and would recommend her highly.

Teddi Ann and her staff were very professional. My divorce was difficult due to the lack of reasonable communication from the other side. Teddi Ann and her staff communicated my positions well and at the end of the case, there wasn’t a dimes worth of difference between our starting position and the divorce we signed. Teddi Ann provides an excellent service in my estimation.
