El Paso County Family Law & Divorce Attorneys
The work of a family law case happens at the table before it happens in the courtroom. The hardest part is often not the law itself; it is the feeling that no one is steering. Johnson Law Group is built around one thing: family law. We bring that single focus to El Paso County families, with the clear direction and grounded strategy these cases require.
Our Colorado Springs office sits inside El Paso County and serves clients in person, with virtual consultations by video or phone available if that fits your week better.
Schedule a no-pressure consultation: call (720) 640-8463 or book a time online. We listen first, explain what you are facing under Colorado law, and give you a clear next step, whether or not you hire us.

Where You Are, Where Your Case Is Heard
For El Paso County, our office and your courthouse are in the same city. The Colorado Springs office and the El Paso County Combined Courts are both in Colorado Springs.
| Office | Counties Served | Primary Courthouse |
|---|---|---|
|
Colorado Springs 2139 Chuckwagon Road, Suite 210 Colorado Springs, CO 80919 |
El Paso County Teller County |
El Paso County Combined Courts 270 S. Tejon Street Colorado Springs, CO 80903 4th Judicial District |
The 4th Judicial District covers both El Paso County and Teller County. El Paso County family law cases are filed at the El Paso County Combined Courts in downtown Colorado Springs, the same city as our Colorado Springs office. Teller County cases are filed at the Teller County Combined Court in Cripple Creek. Our Colorado Springs office covers both counties, so cases that touch El Paso as well as Teller stay with the same team.
Why El Paso County Families Trust Johnson Law Group
The first call isn’t a sales call. You’ll talk to an attorney who listens before recommending anything. We ask the questions that matter, walk you through what Colorado law actually says about your situation, and tell you what we’d do next if we were in your position. Guidance over conversion. That is the part clients tell us makes the difference.
We build cases the way you’d want yours built. Family law isn’t a product. Two cases that look identical on paper can take very different shapes once you look at the kids, the assets, and the history. We start with what you actually need protected, build a strategy around it, and document the case as we go. Showing up to court prepared isn’t optional. It is just how we work.
A client portal that keeps you in the loop. When you hire Johnson Law Group, you get access to our Client Portal at no additional cost. Real-time alerts on every case milestone, transparent billing, and a direct line to your legal team and Client Care Specialist. You will know where your case stands without the waiting game.
We’re staffed for cases that don’t fit a template. A closely held business. Executive compensation. A relocation request. An interstate jurisdiction question. A need for privacy that goes beyond standard. Most El Paso County family cases do not require any of that. When yours does, that is the kind of work we know how to do.
No outcome guarantees. Only preparation. No serious family law attorney can promise a specific result, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we commit to is the preparation: a strategy that fits the facts, a documented case, and a clear understanding of what each phase requires. If anyone in family law guarantees you a result, that is a signal to keep looking.

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. No lecture, no scare tactics, no pressure.
- We map the next step. You will leave the consultation with a clear sense of what comes next: filing, responding, gathering records, or pausing to think it through.
We know Colorado’s courts. We know the path through this kind of case. And we will walk you through what comes next before you commit to anything. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and begin the journey toward your next chapter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where in El Paso County will my case be filed?
All El Paso County family law cases are filed in the 4th Judicial District at the El Paso County Combined Courts, 270 S. Tejon Street in downtown Colorado Springs. Hearings, mediations, and trials connected to your case will happen at that courthouse unless the court schedules a remote appearance.
Your office also serves Teller County. How does that work for an El Paso case?
The Colorado Springs office is staffed for both El Paso and Teller cases because the 4th Judicial District covers both counties. Filing follows where the case belongs under Colorado venue rules, which generally depend on where a party resides at the time of filing. If your case is rooted in El Paso, it will be heard at the El Paso County Combined Courts; if facts reach into Teller, we can represent you there as well without moving teams.
My family is military, or my spouse is a servicemember. Does that change my case?
El Paso County is home to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and the U.S. Air Force Academy, which means many family law cases in this county involve servicemembers. Military divorces and custody matters have their own procedural rules under federal statutes like the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) and the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act (USFSPA), and there are practical questions about deployments, base housing, and benefit eligibility that often come up. Bring your service details to the consultation and we will explain how those rules apply to your case.
Do I have to come into the Colorado Springs office, or can we work virtually?
Either works. Virtual consultations and remote case management are available statewide. The El Paso County Combined Courts can also schedule remote appearances for certain matters. In-person meetings make sense at points like initial planning, mediation prep, and complex document review.
How long does an El Paso County divorce take?
Colorado has a statutory 91-day minimum from service or signed waiver before a divorce can be finalized. That floor applies in every county, El Paso included. The actual timeline depends on whether issues are contested (custody, support, property), the El Paso County Combined Courts’ docket, and whether mediation is required before any contested hearing. Straightforward uncontested cases can resolve close to the 91-day floor; contested cases run longer.
How much will it cost?
El Paso County family law costs depend on the complexity of the matter, how contested it is, and how much can be resolved without court intervention. We discuss fees transparently at the consultation and will not quote representation blind.
