In Colorado, all divorces are handled on a no-fault basis, meaning that the court does not consider the misconduct of either spouse in granting the divorce. This approach prevents the need for blame and shifts the focus toward equitable resolutions. At Johnson Law Group, we emphasize this principle, working to secure the best possible outcome for your situation without getting caught up in past grievances.
Whenever possible, we encourage resolving disputes through consensus. Negotiating solutions can reduce both the financial burden and emotional toll of divorce. We aim to help you move forward by building a strong foundation for the next chapter of your life, whether through mediation, collaborative divorce, or litigation. In any scenario, our team at Johnson Law Group will vigorously protect your legal interests.
