Colorado Springs Paternity Lawyers
A paternity case decides something foundational: who your child’s legal parents are, and the rights and responsibilities that follow. For Colorado Springs parents, that question often arrives tangled with parenting time and support. Johnson Law Group untangles it with a clear process, so you know exactly where you stand at every step.
Our Colorado Springs office sits on Chuckwagon Road in the Rockrimmon area, just off Interstate 25, and we meet clients there in person, by video, or by phone, whichever fits your life right now.
Family Law We Handle in Colorado Springs
Establishing parentage usually opens the door to parenting time, decision-making, and support questions. For the legal process itself, start with how parentage is established in Colorado. These matters often follow close behind:
- Divorce: How dissolution of marriage works in Colorado, from filing to final decree.
- Alimony: Colorado’s approach to spousal maintenance, from eligibility to duration and modification.
- Child custody: Parenting time and decision-making, what Colorado calls parental responsibilities.
- Child support: Setting, modifying, and enforcing support for your children.
- Property division: Dividing marital property and debt, including homes, businesses, and retirement.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Agreements that define property and expectations before or during marriage.
- Contested divorce: What happens when spouses cannot agree, from temporary orders to final hearing.
- Uncontested divorce: The streamlined path when both spouses agree on every major issue.

The Fourth Judicial District serves El Paso and Teller counties, and its domestic relations dockets sit at the El Paso County Judicial Building in downtown Colorado Springs. Our Chuckwagon Road office is roughly 15 minutes north of the courthouse along Interstate 25, depending on traffic, and we appear in these courtrooms regularly. Colorado’s e-filing system also lets us file and track most case documents without a trip downtown.

Why Colorado Springs 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 get a candid assessment of 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, clear strategy, and early preparation, not posturing. 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.
Paternity rarely arrives as a single question. Parenting time, support, and sometimes an out-of-state parent come tangled together. Our footprint across Colorado, Illinois, Florida, and Wyoming lets us keep the whole picture in one place.
No outcome guarantees. Only preparation. No lawyer can promise you a 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.
