Top Divorce Consultation Questions | Episode 125

Divorce at Altitude Podcast on Colorado Family Law

Today we are re-broadcasting an episode that has aired before; we’re talking about the top seven frequently asked questions that come up in a consultation, what they are, and what our responses usually sound like. Using the example of Melanie and Eric Wolff, we ask and answer some pertinent questions common to the divorce process. You’ll hear all about the relevance of the reason for divorce in the courtroom, including what it means to be a non-fault state, dissipation, and marital waste. 

Next, we dive into the specific scenario of a divorce initiated because of infidelity, whether it matters who is first to file, and what determines the details of a parental plan in Colorado. We’ll also be discussing the way Colorado favors fathers more than other states, whether or not it matters if your name is on the deed for the property you share, and when the right time is to start dating. Tune in for an in-depth discussion about today’s deviation from traditional trends in alimony and maintenance, having confidence in your lawyer, and more!
