A Colorado Springs Divorce and Custody Lawyer on Your Side

At the Law Office of Gary E. Lawyer, we attempt to settle cases out of court whenever possible. At trial, there is no guarantee of the desired result, despite the additional time and expense. Representing men and women of El Paso County and local military bases, we work hard to reach cost-effective solutions without sacrificing your best interests.

I approach family law issues in the spirit of resolution. Why let a judge dictate your future when you can create it yourself? I offer the insights, negotiating skills, and legal knowledge to help find solutions for any family law situation:

• Divorce, property division, and alimony- I offer years of experience in valuing and dividing marital assets, and substantial experience in military divorce cases. I can also determine if spousal support could apply in your case.
• Child custody, parenting time, and paternity issues- In negotiations or at trial, I will protect your interests regarding primary residence, decision-making responsibilities, or parent relocation.
• Child support modifications and enforcement- I represent the primary or non-primary parent in all matters regarding financial support of children.

We Won't Start a Fight, But We Won't Back Down From One

As a former family law magistrate, I can see both sides of an issue and guide clients to agreement. A settlement is often better for all involved - the adults and the children. Litigation is expensive, drawn out, and traumatic, and often leads to continued squabbles after. A good settlement does not require "giving in" or giving up your rights. It's about the ongoing relationship with the other parent of your children. It's about moving on with your new life.

However, experience shows that not every divorce or custody dispute can be amicably resolved. If your case is contested in court, as your attorney, I will vigorously promote and protect your interests. I don't come out to go for the jugular (judges frown on such behavior), but I would aggressively go after spouses hiding assets or spouses quitting their jobs to avoid paying child support.

Contact the Law Office of Gary E. Lawyer at (719) 635-7272 to arrange your initial consultation. I offer the proven skills to negotiate a workable settlement, but if a court battle is the only recourse, I can more than hold my own to protect you.
