Colorado Post Divorce Action Attorney

While a final decree in a divorce can legally end a marriage and divide the marital assets and debts, in some cases, situations may change after the divorce, triggering various issues and disputes to develop. When post-divorce disputes arise, the Littleton divorce and family law attorneys at the Law Office of Littleton Lawyers™ are ready to help our clients settle these disputes and work out favorable resolutions.

While our goal is to try to get post divorce mediation outside of court to keep legal fees minimal and to try to achieve solutions in the most efficient manner possible, our attorneys are always ready to assert our clients’ rights in court to ensure they are able to get the outcomes they deserve.

Our Experience with Post-Divorce Disputes

Some of the various types of contentious matters that can arise after divorces – and that our lawyers are highly skilled at handling – include (but are not limited to):

Modifications of child custody arrangements (which may become an issue if one parent sustains a dramatic change to his or her health, if a parent moves out of state, if a parent develops an addiction problem, etc.)

Modifications of spousal support and/or child support payments (which may be necessary if one party loses his or her job or when the child custody arrangements have been altered)

Enforcement of nonpayment of spousal support and/or child support payments (which may involve taking steps to garnish a person’s wages or seeking other legal remedies)

Enforcement of a failure to comply with custody agreements, visitation agreements, etc.).

Having a post-divorce actions lawyer on your side who is experienced at overseeing and successfully settling such disputes is crucial to ensuring that you get the outcomes you need and the resolutions you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a post dissolution dispute attorney assist me?

A post dissolution dispute attorney can assist you by providing expert legal guidance and representation in conflicts that arise after a divorce is finalized. This includes enforcing court orders, modifying custody or support agreements, and resolving property disputes. Our attorneys in Littleton, Colorado, are dedicated to protecting your rights and ensuring that the post-divorce agreements are fair and sustainable.

When should I consider modifying my child support agreement post divorce?

You should consider modifying your child support agreement post divorce if there are substantial changes in your financial situation, your child's needs, or the other parent's circumstances. Our team in Littleton, Colorado, can help you assess whether a modification is warranted and assist you in filing the necessary legal documents to adjust the child support order.

What options are available if the other parent is relocating out of state with the child?

If the other parent plans to move the child out of state, you may request a modification of the custody agreement to ensure the move serves the child’s best interests. Colorado courts evaluate factors such as the reason for the move, impact on the child’s schooling, and whether you can maintain a meaningful relationship. Your attorney can file a relocation action and seek either your consent or a court hearing. If relocation is granted, the court may also adjust visitation, support, or parenting time accordingly. Failing to legally address a move can result in difficulties exercising your court-ordered rights. Timely legal guidance is crucial to protect both your parental involvement and the child’s emotional needs.

Can I seek reimbursement for private school or extracurricular costs post divorce?

Yes, if these expenses were included in your original divorce decree or support agreement, you may be entitled to reimbursement. Courts may enforce such provisions if the other party fails to contribute without justification. If unexpected financial hardship arises, you can file to modify the decree rather than seeking reimbursement retroactively. Documentation—such as invoices, receipts, and proof of agreed financial arrangements—is necessary to support your claim. Your attorney can petition the court to enforce or modify the terms equitably. Acting proactively helps ensure educational support responsibilities are met as intended.

How are digital assets (like cryptocurrency or online businesses) handled in post-divorce disputes?

Digital assets may be subject to division or modification agreements just like other marital property, especially if they hold significant value. Proving ownership and valuation may require forensic accountants or cyber-asset experts to trace holdings. If a digital asset wasn’t disclosed initially, you can petition the court to address it in a post-divorce motion. Courts will consider whether the asset was marital or separate and whether its value has changed over time. Legal counsel can help you file motions to enforce disclosure and obtain an equitable share. Given the evolving nature of digital holdings, securing professional evaluation and timely legal action is vital.

In 2026, what does Colorado require to modify a divorce decree for support or maintenance after the case is finalized?

In 2026, many post-decree disputes focus on whether a change is big enough to justify modifying existing orders. Colorado law provides that maintenance may be modified only as to future installments and only upon a showing of changed circumstances that are substantial and continuing so the terms are unfair. Similar changed-circumstances standards apply to child support modifications, with statutory guidance on what must be shown. This is why documentation matters, such as income changes, medical changes, and childcare or insurance costs. Timing matters too because courts generally address changes going forward from the filing of the motion, not months before. A clear paper trail makes it easier to show the court that the change is real, ongoing, and not just a short-term fluctuation.

What challenges might arise in post dissolution property disputes?

Post dissolution property disputes can be complex and challenging, often involving disagreements over the interpretation of the divorce decree or the discovery of previously undisclosed assets. In Littleton, Colorado, our legal team is adept at navigating these disputes, providing thorough investigation and strong advocacy to protect your interests and achieve a fair resolution.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.
