Even in cases of a simple or uncontested divorce or family law matter, having the right legal support can make the process smoother and less stressful. In Colorado, hiring a LLP to assist you offers a range of benefits that can ensure a fair and efficient resolution.

Even if an LLP is authorized to represent a client, an LLP is not authorized to represent a client in any of the following:

• The registration of foreign orders
• Motions for or orders regarding punitive contempt citations under C.R.C.P. 107
• Matters involving an allegation of common law marriage in which either party disputes the existence of a common law marriage or the date when the common law marriage formed
• Matters involving disputed parentage where there are more than two parents or alleged parents asserting or denying legal parentage
• Matters in which a non-parent’s request for APR is contested by at least one parent
• Preparation of or litigation regarding pre- or post-nuptial agreements; matters in which a party is a beneficiary of a trust and information about the trust will be relevant to resolution of the matter
• Matters in which a party intends to contest jurisdiction of the court over any issue in the matter
• The preparation by the LLP of a qualified domestic relations order (“QDRO”) or other document allocating retirement assets that are not liquid at the time of the matter
• The preparation by the LLP of documents needed to effectuate the sale or distribution of assets of a business entity or commercial property
• Matters in which an expert report or testimony is required to value an asset or determine income due to the inherent complexity of the asset or income at issue
• Issues collateral to, but directly affecting, a matter which falls within the LLP’s scope of practice when such issues require analysis and advice outside that scope of practice, such as immigration, criminal, and bankruptcy issues that could directly affect the resolution of the matter
• If the matter goes to a hearing, an LLP is not authorized to conduct an examination of witnesses
