Why Choose SM Family Law, LLC

Our attorney founded SM Family Law, LLC, in 2010. Since then, we have built a community-based referral network in Boulder, applying alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods where appropriate. Our attorney’s knowledge of Colorado law allows our firm to tailor legal strategies to each client’s circumstances.
Finding Your Way Through Divorce In Boulder Property Division
Property division often involves more than deciding who keeps certain property. It may include identifying marital and separate assets, valuing real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, investments and addressing shared debts. Careful planning during this stage may help protect your financial interests and reduce future disputes.
Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance, also called alimony, plays an important role in helping one spouse adjust after divorce. Colorado courts may consider factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial resources and earning capacity when determining whether support is appropriate. An attorney can help you evaluate how these factors may apply to your circumstances.
Prenuptial And Postnuptial Agreements
A valid prenuptial or postnuptial agreement may influence how property, debts and financial obligations are handled during a divorce. If questions arise about the interpretation or enforceability of an agreement, legal guidance may help you understand your rights and available options.
Child Custody
Child custody decisions focus on the child’s best interests. Parents may need to address decision-making responsibilities, parenting time schedules and communication regarding their children’s needs. Developing a practical parenting plan may help create greater stability for your family after divorce.
Child Support
Child support helps provide for a child’s everyday needs after parents separate. Colorado uses statutory guidelines to calculate support, although certain circumstances may affect the final amount. Legal assistance may be helpful when establishing, modifying or enforcing child support orders.
We understand that every divorce is different, and we are committed to finding reliable legal solutions for our clients. If you are seeking a Boulder divorce attorney, our lawyer is here to provide you with the guidance and support you need.
Separation agreements and modifications of orders are also important aspects of divorce that our attorney can assist with. With her experience in Boulder family law, we are confident that our lawyer can provide you with the legal representation you deserve.

Sangeetha is always looking for solutions to solve difficult problems. In my case, I had many struggles with my soon-to-be-ex over parenting, but Sangeetha recommended therapists and classes to help us improve our co-parenting.
