Lakewood Custody Lawyers

Lakewood, Colorado is one of the best places to live and raise a family in Jefferson County, but it’s also home to many families who are experiencing conflict in their relationship. If you live in Lakewood, and you are considering getting a divorce or separation (or are already facing one), it’s important to find quality legal representation as soon as possible. The compassionate, experienced Lakewood custody lawyers at New Leaf Family can protect your parental rights and your children’s best interests, but even more than that, we can empower you to arrive at the real-life outcome that you want for yourself and for your family. We’ll walk with you every step of the way through the custody process! Contact our firm today to schedule a consultation.

The Problem With Most Colorado Custody Firms
Determining what happens to the kids is definitely the hardest, most emotional part of any family split. You may be completely overwhelmed with everything you are feeling and fearing; you may have never been in this situation before, and you may have no idea what to expect, what you should be doing as a parent, what your legal options are, what the practical consequences of those options are, or what you really want to happen!  Most Lakewood custody lawyers don’t have ill intent (though some do), but they end up taking advantage of this uncertainty and turmoil. They tell you what they can do for you and what outcome they would like to help you achieve; then they ask you to spend large amounts of money to get this outcome and take whatever steps are necessary to secure it (even if that means engaging in high-conflict litigation). Not only is that not the ideal course of action for your budget, for your extended family relationships, or for the emotional well-being of your kids, but when the dust has settled, you may be left dissatisfied, with more problems than you started with and with no idea of what to do next. Lawyers who don’t take the time to figure out what you actually want will likely end up hurting you, rather than helping you.

How Our Lakewood Custody Lawyers Are Different
At New Leaf Family, everything we do revolves around you; any recommendation we make or action we take is based on your desires for what your family’s life should look like. To that end, our mission is empowerment. We serve as your partner and guide, but you’re in the driver’s seat! We will always spend time getting to know you, answering your questions, assuaging your concerns, and assessing your family’s unique dynamics and financial situation. Our team will engage you in a process of clarifying what it is that you want and what your goals are when it comes to custody. We realize, based on years of experience, that child custody isn’t just a legal issue, but a deeply personal one that intersects with Colorado law. That means that we…

Want To Form A Holistic, Long-Term Relationship With You
Because you are our client, and not just another case, we care about the fact that your and your children’s lives will continue to change long after the custody agreement has been set. One of the most unique things about working with New Leaf Family’s Lakewood custody lawyers is that we have many services besides legal representation. We offer coaching, seminars, access to a network of realtors and financial advisors and auto mechanics, and more. We’re here for you, for life!

Don’t Pursue Conflict, But Will Meet It If Necessary
Especially in custody cases, fighting should be avoided as much as possible. It’s better for you and for your kids, and it’s more affordable. If you and your spouse can work together to find a collaborative solution, you can stay in control of the terms of the agreement and save thousands of dollars in court fees. However, sadly, sometimes working together isn’t possible; our attorneys are more than capable of aggressively defending your and your child’s interests in court if need be.

Offer Predictable Monthly Fees To Ease Your Financial Burden
Becoming a single parent can be extremely expensive, and we understand that! While our legal services aren’t “cheap”, so we can provide the level of excellent service we aspire to, they are affordable for most people. We don’t require any huge upfront fees, and we don’t bill by the hour; we will tell you each month how much you will pay, so that you can plan ahead and get peace of mind.

Call New Leaf Family Today.
In the same way that a sports team with a great coach will grow athletically during the season, families who have great attorneys will grow through the custody journey. We are dedicated to encouraging you, supporting you, and challenging you so you can come out on the other side of this experience better for it. It’s free, and completely confidential, to contact our Lakewood custody lawyers (we’ll be upfront and obvious when we reach the stage where we will begin charging you!). Call us today so we can get some basic information from you and then schedule a consultation!
