Littleton Family Law & Divorce Attorneys
When a family is going through divorce, a custody dispute, or a support matter, the process does not stall because the law is unclear. It stalls because no one is steering. Johnson Law Group is a family-law-only firm, founded in 2015, built around one premise: families in transition deserve a prepared, focused guide. Littleton is the county seat of Arapahoe County, and it is the only city in this Arapahoe County set with its own courthouse. The families we serve here get the same focused preparation, the same documentation discipline, and the same clear counsel that Arapahoe County clients have come to rely on.
Our Englewood office at 385 Inverness Pkwy, Suite 250, is the Johnson Law Group location serving Arapahoe County clients, including Littleton families in the Arapahoe County portion of the city. We serve clients in person at that office, with virtual consultations by video or phone available for families whose schedules or circumstances make the drive impractical. Note that portions of Littleton fall in Jefferson County; those residents file family law cases in Golden. If you are unsure which county your address falls in, we can confirm during your consultation.
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.

For Littleton residents in Arapahoe County, family law cases, including divorce, custody, child support, spousal maintenance, and protection orders, are filed and heard at the Arapahoe County Courthouse in Littleton, located at 1790 W. Littleton Blvd. and part of the 18th Judicial District. Littleton also has its own Municipal Court at 2069 W. Littleton Blvd., but that court handles only city traffic violations and ordinance matters and has no jurisdiction over divorce, custody, or any Arapahoe County family law matter. Residents in the Jefferson County portion of Littleton, including Columbine Hills, Ken Caryl, and Leawood, file family law cases at the Jefferson County Combined Courts in Golden, not at the Arapahoe County Courthouse in Littleton. From our Englewood office, the Arapahoe County Courthouse in Littleton is approximately 7 miles southwest, a drive of about 15 minutes. Plan to meet with our team in Englewood or by video for case strategy, and to appear in Littleton for hearings.
Why Littleton Families Trust Johnson Law Group
The first call is not a sales call. You will 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 would do next. Guidance over conversion. That is the part clients tell us makes the difference when they were deciding who to hire.
We build cases the way you would want yours built. Family law is not a product. Two cases that look identical on paper can take very different paths once you look at the children, the assets, and the shared history. We start with what you need protected, build a strategy around it, and document the case as we go. Showing up to the Arapahoe County Courthouse prepared is not optional. It is 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 having to chase updates.
We are staffed for cases that do not fit a template. A custody arrangement complicated by a relocation. A business interest or retirement account that needs careful valuation. A multi-county jurisdiction question when an address sits on a county line. An interstate matter when one parent moves. Most Littleton cases do not involve all 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 you a specific result, and we will not tell you what you want to hear to close a consultation. What we commit to is the preparation: a strategy that fits the facts, a documented case, and honest communication at every stage so you never feel blindsided.
Ready to talk? Call (720) 640-8463 or schedule a no-pressure consultation.
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
Which court handles my Littleton family law case?
Most of Littleton is in Arapahoe County, where family law cases are filed at the Arapahoe County Courthouse, 1790 W. Littleton Blvd., Littleton, CO 80120, within the 18th Judicial District. That courthouse is located in Littleton itself. Portions of Littleton in the southwest,including Columbine Hills, Ken Caryl, and Leawood,are in Jefferson County, where family law cases are filed at the Jefferson County Combined Courts in Golden, within the 1st Judicial District. A very small southern portion of Littleton is in Douglas County, which files at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock. Littleton also has its own Municipal Court at 2069 W. Littleton Blvd., but that court handles only city traffic violations and ordinance matters and has no jurisdiction over divorce or family law. If you are unsure which county your address falls in, we can confirm jurisdiction during your consultation.
Do I have to come into the Englewood office, or can we handle this virtually?
Both options are available. Our Englewood office at 385 Inverness Pkwy, Suite 250, is the nearest Johnson Law Group location to Littleton and serves Arapahoe County clients who prefer in-person meetings. Virtual consultations by video or phone are equally effective for the initial consultation and much of the ongoing case work. Most Littleton families use a mix of in-person and virtual meetings depending on the stage of the case and their schedules.
My spouse recently moved out of state. Can Johnson Law Group still help?
Yes. Johnson Law Group is licensed in Colorado, Illinois, Florida, and Wyoming. When one spouse relocates to another state, questions of jurisdiction arise around which state governs the divorce filing, where custody matters should be heard, and how interstate custody agreements are enforced. Those cross-state questions are exactly the kind of work our multi-state team is built to assess. Schedule a consultation and we will evaluate which state has jurisdiction and what the filing path looks like for your specific situation.
Does it matter which Littleton neighborhood I live in for my case?
Yes, in one important way. Most of Littleton is in Arapahoe County and files at the Arapahoe County Courthouse in Littleton. But if your address is in the Jefferson County portion of Littleton, which includes Columbine Hills, Ken Caryl, and Leawood, your family law case is filed in Golden, not Littleton. Your specific neighborhood within Arapahoe County Littleton does not affect your court or judge assignment. If you are unsure which county your Littleton address falls in, call us and we will confirm before your consultation.
How much will it cost to hire a family law attorney in Littleton?
Family law costs depend on the complexity of your matter and how much can be resolved without court intervention. We discuss fees transparently at the consultation and will not quote representation without understanding your situation. Call (720) 640-8463 or schedule a consultation and we will give you a realistic picture of what your specific case is likely to involve.
I am not sure what kind of legal help I need yet. What should I do?
Start with a consultation. You do not need to have your situation fully categorized before you call. Tell us what is happening, and we will identify what area of family law applies, explain the typical process, and help you determine whether Johnson Law Group is the right fit. No commitment is required from the consultation, and no pressure is applied. The consultation exists to give you clarity, not to close a sale.
