Family law matters typically fall into one of two categories; divorce and custody (now known as “APR”).

     Divorce pertains to everything from the initial filing for divorce, through sorting out who gets what and how we pay the debts, through dividing  parenting time if there are children, and through both child support and spousal support (a/k/a maintenance or alimony).  It can also include efforts to enforce already existing orders after a divorce is complete, such as collecting support payments or getting certain obligations met.

     Custody cases pertain to the children when there is no marriage to  be dissolved. Although our Colorado Courts no longer speak of custody, I have continued to call it “custody” here because that’s how most of us still think of the arrangements for decision-making and parenting time with children.  The terms have changed, and the attitudes about what arrangements are best for the children have changed some, but the underlying process and end result are not so different.
