Colorado Post-Decree Matters

What Are Post-Decree Matters?
Post-decree matters in Colorado involve legal issues that arise after a divorce or legal separation has been finalized. These issues often relate to modifications of child custody, child support, relocating with a child out of state, changing or ending spousal maintenance (alimony), or enforcing parts of the original divorce decree. Even though the initial divorce may be finalized, life changes can require adjustments to the original terms, and post-decree matters ensure that these adjustments are legally recognized and enforceable.

Modifications to Parenting Plans or Child Support
Circumstances change over time, and modifications to parenting plans or child support agreements are common post-decree matters. Changes in income, relocation, or shifts in a child’s needs can require updates to these arrangements. In Colorado, a significant change in circumstances must be shown to justify any modification, and our experienced attorneys can help you navigate the process to ensure that any changes are fair and reflect your current situation.

Enforcement of Court Orders
Sometimes, one party may fail to comply with the terms of the divorce decree, such as refusing to pay child support or violating a custody agreement. In these cases, post-decree enforcement actions may be necessary to hold the non-compliant party accountable. Our law firm is skilled in taking swift legal action to enforce court orders, ensuring that your rights and the agreed-upon terms of your divorce are respected.
