Resolving a family legal issue in court will require that, among other things, you pay the filing fees to initiate your case. In fact, even if you don’t initiate the case but you need to respond to the filing, you will still have to pay the required filing fees in order for the court to process your request (or response or motion).
Given that different types of cases and filings are associated with different fees, below is a table that clearly outlines the current Colorado divorce and family court filing fees for some of the most common types of family law cases/issues.
While this overview can help you prepare for the costs of your family law case, when you need the best legal representation and case outcomes, don’t hesitate to contact a trusted Littleton divorce lawyer at Bahr & Kreidle.
