Practice Areas:

Division of Property and Debts

Under Colorado law, property and debts are to be divided equitably, which does not necessarily mean equally. The attorneys at Bloch & Chapleau make it their mission to ensure that all of the relevant factors are taken into consideration in determining whether the property is marital or separate, what the property’s value is, and how that property should be divided, fairly, between the parties.

Custody/Parenting Time

In Colorado the best interests of the child determine custody/parental responsibilities, which include decision-making authority and parenting time. In situations where the best interests are in dispute, it is common for the court to appoint either a child and family investigator or a custody evaluator to provide recommendations concerning what is in the best interest of the children. The attorneys at Bloch & Chapleau are both experienced and skilled in demonstrating to the court why our client is in the better position to care for the children. This is accomplished by working closely with the professionals appointed by the court, and persuasively presenting your case to the judge.

Alimony/Maintenance

Maintenance is based upon a party’s inability to support him or herself through appropriate employment and the disparity of income between the parties. The law is gender neutral, and the attorneys at Bloch & Chapleau have successfully obtained and defended maintenance awards for their clients.

Child Support

Child support is an order by a court or administrative order by which a non-custodial parent is required to pay the custodial parent a specified amount of money for his or her child(ren).

Prenuptial Agreements

The contract of marriage may be the most important contract a person enters during his or her lifetime. Colorado law is precise in what couples can legally do to bind themselves prior to a marriage. The attorneys at Bloch & Chapleau can help you create an agreement that will protect your hard-earned assets from being taken from you and to take the inherent risk of the unknown out of the divorce process.

Paternity

Genetic testing is important to establish the biological relationship with the child and the subsequent responsibilities that accompany a positive match. Bloch & Chapleau has extensive experience in the area of paternity testing.
