Denver Spousal Maintenance Lawyer

Colorado is often considered more favorable toward those seeking alimony than many other states. Understanding the state’s alimony laws is crucial if you face divorce. Knowing your rights in advance can significantly impact your future and your children’s. Colorado law outlines specific factors courts consider, including marriage length, earning capacities, and the established standard of living. Alimony duration is often tied to marriage length, but each case is unique. Understanding these factors is key to preparing for proceedings.

Colorado may award distinct types of alimony, from temporary support during divorce to rehabilitative maintenance and, in some cases, indefinite support. The type and duration depend on your specific circumstances. Johnson Law Group can help you understand these distinctions and advocate for the best outcome. We offer virtual consultations via Zoom, Teams, phone, or in person, and our team is Spanish-speaking.

Overboard: How to Avoid Sinking in Your Colorado Family Law Case

Written by Denver Family Law Attorney Myles S. Johnson

Divorce doesn’t have to be dramatic. For the litigants, losing your spouse is significant enough. But you can choose the way it affects your daily life. The only guarantee I can give is that the feeling that you have right now will not be the feeling you end with. This is a season in your life, and it must be approached that way.

This acclaimed book positions Johnson Law Group as a thought leader in Colorado family law, providing clients with the same proven strategies that have guided hundreds of families through successful outcomes.

Modification & Termination of Spousal Maintenance

At Johnson Law Group, we understand that circumstances can change after implementing a spousal maintenance order. Colorado law allows the modification or termination of spousal maintenance under certain conditions. A significant and ongoing change in circumstances for either party can be grounds for modification. This could include a substantial increase or decrease in either spouse’s income, changes in health that affect earning capacity, or other unforeseen events that impact their financial situation.

Remarriage of the recipient spouse typically terminates spousal maintenance. Similarly, cohabitation with a romantic partner may also be grounds for modification or termination, depending on the specifics of the support order and the nature of the cohabitation.

It is important to note that modifications are not automatic; you must petition the court to request a change to the existing order. The court will then review the evidence presented by both parties and determine whether a modification is warranted. We can help you understand the specific requirements for modifying or terminating spousal maintenance and guide you through the legal process.
