Move Through Your Fort Collins Divorce With a Clear Plan
Divorce decides who lives where, who pays what, and how your children spend their weeks. Johnson Law Group works to make those decisions deliberate rather than reactive for Fort Collins families. Think of us as the North Star for your case, a fixed point of honest counsel while everything else is in motion.
Our Fort Collins office sits on East Harmony Road near the Interstate 25 interchange, on the southeast side of town. You can meet your attorney there in person, or handle the matter by video and phone if that fits your schedule better. Either way, the work moves at the pace your case needs.

The Eighth Judicial District covers Larimer and Jackson counties, and its domestic relations dockets sit at the Larimer County Justice Center in downtown Fort Collins. Our Harmony Road office is roughly 15 to 20 minutes from the courthouse, depending on traffic. Colorado’s e-filing system also lets us file and track most case documents without a trip downtown.
The Justice Center houses a Court Resource Center that assists self-represented litigants in Larimer and Jackson counties. Under Colorado’s domestic relations rule, an initial status conference is set no later than 42 days after the petition is filed. Attorneys on both sides can file a stipulated case management plan instead.

Why Fort Collins Families Trust Johnson Law Group
The first call is not a sales call. We listen to what is happening in your family and what you want to protect. You will leave with a clear read on where you stand, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
We build your case the way you would want it built. Organized records, early preparation, and a strategy you can actually follow. That work starts on day one so nothing catches you flat-footed later.
A client portal that keeps you in the loop. Real-time alerts, case milestones, and billing visibility, included at no additional cost. You will always know where your case stands.
We are staffed for divorces that do not fit a template. High-asset estates, business interests, and spouses in different states land here regularly. The firm’s footprint across Colorado, Illinois, and Wyoming means complexity does not require a second law firm.
No outcome guarantees, only preparation. No lawyer can promise a particular result, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. What we commit to is the preparation, strategy, and communication that give your case its strongest footing.
What to Expect When You Call
Our consultation process is straightforward and built around three things you need before any decisions get made:
- We listen first. Tell us what is happening. The short version is fine, and we will ask the questions that matter.
- We explain what Colorado law says. In plain English, with no lecture and no scare tactics.
- We map your next step. You will leave knowing what comes next: filing, responding, gathering records, or taking time to think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where will my Fort Collins divorce be filed?
Divorce cases for Fort Collins residents are generally filed with the Larimer County District Court at the Larimer County Justice Center, 201 LaPorte Avenue in downtown Fort Collins. The Clerk of Court’s office is in Suite 100, and the court sits within Colorado’s Eighth Judicial District. We will confirm the correct venue for your circumstances during your consultation.
How long does a divorce take in Fort Collins?
Colorado requires that one spouse has been domiciled in the state for 91 days before the court can act on a divorce. A decree also cannot enter until at least 91 days after the court acquires jurisdiction over the other spouse. Even a fully agreed case therefore runs roughly three months at minimum, and contested cases take longer.
Do I have to come into your office, or can we handle my divorce virtually?
Either works. We meet Fort Collins clients in person on East Harmony Road and by video or phone, and Colorado’s e-filing system handles most paperwork without repeated trips downtown. Court appearances, when required, happen in Larimer County regardless of how we meet.
