Laying the Groundwork for the ISC
Confidence begins with preparation; the one thing fully within your control.
Preparing for your Initial Status Conference is a critical step in your case. First, you must comply with the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure by submitting the required documents. This ensures that, when the court inquires about your progress, you can demonstrate that you are on track.
Beyond paperwork, you’ll also need to analyze your case and identify the experts, future hearings, and requests for compliance from the other party that will support your position.
By approaching this conference thoroughly and thoughtfully, you set the tone for your entire case—showing the court, the other party, and all involved that you are diligent, cooperative, and respectful of both the legal process and your family.
What about the children?
Family Transitions: Navigating Co-Parenting
The period between your Initial Status Conference and Permanent Orders is more than just waiting—it’s an incubation period. During this time, the court expects you to explore and test different arrangements to discover what truly works best for your family.
Our firm guides you through this process by helping you:
Experiment with Schedules – Try out different parenting time arrangements to see what provides balance and stability.
Redefine Parenting Roles – Support each parent in taking on responsibilities that may have previously fallen to the other.
Support Your Children’s Transition – Help your children adapt to life in two homes with consistency and care.
Develop Shared Family Values – Establish guiding principles for child-rearing that will endure long after the court process ends.
With our support, you don’t just get through this stage—you build the foundation for a respectful and cooperative co-parenting relationship that prioritizes your children’s well-being.
Do I need an expert?
Guidance on When to Bring in the Experts
In court, cases are stronger when they don’t come down to “he said, she said.” Judges often want a neutral, professional voice—whether it’s to value an asset, assess earning potential, or explain what your children need most from each parent.
Early evaluation is critical. If experts are needed, they must be appointed before the expert deadline. Acting too late can limit your options and weaken your case.
Our firm helps you:
Evaluate the Need – Determine whether an expert is necessary for your specific situation.
Select the Right Expert – Identify professionals best suited to support your case.
Handle the Process – Prepare and file the necessary paperwork so your experts are properly appointed.
With our guidance, you’ll know when expertise can strengthen your position and how to secure it at the right time.
Building Your Case with Proof
Words tell a story. Evidence wins a case.
The Rules of Evidence
When you walk into court, simply telling your side of the story isn’t enough. Judges make decisions based on evidence, not just words. To influence the court, you must be able to prove what you know to be true.
We understand that you may not always have the documents or information you need. That’s where we come in. Our firm helps you identify what evidence is required and obtain it—whether from the other party or third parties—so your case is supported by the proof the court demands.
Mediation
Mediation begins long before you sit down at the table
Mediation isn’t something you can simply show up for and expect to succeed. If you want it to work in your favor, preparation is key. We can help you set the stage before mediation even begins—ensuring the mediator understands your perspective, not just the other side’s.
Our guidance will help you prepare evidence and talking points so you don’t find yourself struggling to explain what you could prove “if only you had more time.” In mediation, you’re on the clock. The better prepared you are, the more time—and money—you save. Strong preparation can shorten the mediation process, strengthen the agreements reached, and help you avoid the added cost and stress of going to trial.
Taking the Stress Out of Trial Prep
We Make Trial Preparation Clear, Calm, and Manageable
If your case is heading to trial, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A cooperative resolution hasn’t been reached, which means your case is complex and the judge will carefully consider both sides before making a decision. Without careful preparation, you risk the judge splitting the difference rather than fully understanding and supporting your position.
That’s why thorough, thoughtful, and diligent preparation is essential. We help you build a clear, compelling case—so your side of the story is presented with the strength and credibility it deserves.
Document Drafting: Court
The Right Words Make All the Difference
When you’re involved in a court case, the paperwork isn’t just “forms” — it’s the official record the judge and the other side will rely on to understand your position. That’s why it’s so important to have a neutral, experienced attorney prepare those documents for you.
Document Drafting--Amicable Resolution
Your Terms, Accurately Reflected
It’s often easy to agree on the “big picture” terms of an arrangement. But problems arise when those same terms mean different things to each party—or when one side tries to stretch or manipulate the agreement later. What felt like a simple handshake can quickly turn into confusion, frustration, or even costly disputes.
That’s why having a professionally drafted agreement matters. Our agreements are clear, comprehensive, and precise, leaving little room for misunderstanding or “wiggle room.” Every important detail is written down in plain, enforceable language so that what you agreed to is exactly what the documents say.
By making sure your terms are accurately reflected, we help protect your intentions and prevent conflicts that never needed to happen in the first place.
Trial Preparation
Your Case, Your Voice—Our Guidance
Proceed With Confidence
We understand that not every case justifies investing your life savings in having an attorney prepare for a full trial. Sometimes, the issues left to resolve don’t merit that kind of expense. But it’s still critical to have an attorney’s guidance.
We can help you frame your issues clearly and present them in an organized way the court can easily digest. This preparation not only helps the judge understand your position but also increases your chances of achieving a fair result.
Let us help you get organized, focused, and ready—so you can move forward with confidence.
