Denver Mothers' Rights Attorneys
Empowering Women and Protecting Families
In Colorado, mothers and fathers have equal rights in divorce and custody cases. However, 30 years of experience have shown us that women face unique challenges. The reasons for this vary with each family.
At Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C., many of our clients are the primary caregivers, women who have put their careers on hold to care for their children. While this is a unique and special role, it often leads to a power and economic imbalance in the relationship, which is not fully revealed until after the divorce process is initiated.
The inverse is also true: Many of our clients are mothers and also breadwinners who are facing threats to their stability and finances due to a divorce.
Whether you need to secure a custody resolution, wish to modify an existing one, or are fighting to protect your assets, our experienced legal team is here to advocate on your behalf, ensuring the best outcome for you and your child.
You do not have to face this difficult situation alone. The legal team at Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C. is here to offer strategic and empathetic legal solutions that will protect you, your children, and your unique family dynamic. Contact us today!
How We Secure Futures & Protect Womens’ Rights
Colorado courts are required to make custody decisions in the best interest of the child. However, we have seen far too many cases where lawyers demand equal custody arrangements for negligent fathers who do not contribute, both emotionally and financially, to ther children’s lives.
That is why it is so important to turn to the experienced family law attorneys at Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C.
We are committed to upholding Colorado law and we also understand that every situation is unique. In cases where the father has not contributed significantly to their children's lives, we will help you access the necessary financial information needed to demonstrate to the court why a different custody arrangement may be in the best interest of the child.
Our goal is to ensure a fair custody decision—one that reflects our state’s legal standards but also the reality of your family's situation. With over three decades of experience, we can assist with:
- Establishing custody arrangements
- Modifying custody arrangements
- Securing child support
- Negotiating spousal support
- Asset protection
- Property division
If you need help with any of these services, please reach out to our experienced family law team today. We are committed to providing strategic legal solutions that consider the nuances of your unique family dynamic. Contact us today!
Frequently Asked Questions
What rights do I have as a mother in a custody dispute?
Mothers have the same rights as fathers to seek custody of their children. The court's primary concern is the child's best interests, considering factors like the child's age, health, emotional ties to each parent, and each parent's ability to provide for the child.
How can I protect my rights during a divorce?
Our family law attorneys can assist by negotiating on your behalf, ensuring all agreements reflect your contributions to the marriage and prioritize your child's stability and security. We will work with you to ensure a fair division of assets, adequate spousal support (if applicable), and a custody arrangement that serves your child's best interests.
What can I do if the father is not paying child support?
Legal action can be taken to enforce the support order. This may include wage garnishment, withholding tax refunds, or even pursuing legal charges in severe cases. Our lawyers can guide you through the process of enforcing a child support order, ensuring that you receive the financial support necessary for your child's care.
Can a mother request modifications to custody or support orders?
Yes, if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, relocation, or changes in the child's needs. To request a modification, you must file a petition with the court and provide evidence supporting the need for change.
How can I establish paternity to secure child support and legal rights for my child?
Establishing paternity is crucial for securing child support and ensuring your child has legal rights to their father's inheritance, social security benefits, and health insurance. Paternity can be established voluntarily through an acknowledgment of paternity form or through a court order following a DNA test. Our attorneys can assist with the legal process of establishing paternity, ensuring that your child's rights are protected and that you receive the support you need.
