Adams County Family Law & Divorce Attorneys
Family law cases force decisions about money, parenting, and what comes next while the rest of life keeps moving. 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 Adams County families, with the clear direction and grounded strategy these cases require.
Our Commerce City office sits inside Adams 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
Where you meet with us is about convenience. Where your case is filed is about jurisdiction. For Adams County matters, both lead to the same place.
| Office | Counties Served | Primary Courthouse |
|---|---|---|
|
Commerce City 13599 E. 104th Avenue, Suite 300 Commerce City, CO 80022 |
Adams County Broomfield County |
Adams County Justice Center 1100 Judicial Center Drive Brighton, CO 80601 17th Judicial District |
The 17th Judicial District covers both Adams County and Broomfield County, but each county has its own courthouse. Adams County family law cases are heard at the Adams County Justice Center in Brighton; Broomfield County cases go to the Broomfield Combined Court. Our Commerce City office covers both, so if your case has facts that reach into both counties, the same team handles it across both jurisdictions.
Why Adams 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 Adams 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 Adams County will my case be filed?
All Adams County family law cases are filed in the 17th Judicial District at the Adams County Justice Center, 1100 Judicial Center Drive in Brighton. Hearings, mediations, and trials connected to your case will happen at that courthouse unless the court schedules a remote appearance.
My case touches both Adams and Broomfield counties. Does sharing the 17th Judicial District change anything?
The 17th Judicial District covers both counties, but each has its own courthouse: Adams cases go to Brighton, Broomfield cases go to the Broomfield Combined Court. Filing follows the county of record. If your case has facts that reach into both counties (real estate, parenting time, employment, support orders), that is a coordination question, not a filing change, and we will sort it on the first call.
Do I have to come into the Commerce City office, or can we work virtually?
Either works. Virtual consultations and remote case management are available statewide. The Brighton courthouse can also schedule remote appearances for certain matters. In-person meetings make sense at points like initial planning, mediation prep, and complex document review.
What if my spouse recently moved out of state?
Colorado cases involving an out-of-state spouse raise jurisdictional questions governed by the UCCJEA and related statutes. We handle the Colorado side of these matters and coordinate with counsel in the other state when the facts require it. Bring what you know to the consultation. We will sort out which court should hear what.
How long does an Adams 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, Adams included. The actual timeline depends on whether issues are contested (custody, support, property), the Brighton court’s 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?
Adams 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.
