The Law Office of Stephanie Suzanne - Arvada, CO

Comprehensive Family Law and Divorce Advocacy

Going through a divorce or a custody dispute is one of the most challenging life events any family can experience. At the Law Office of Stephanie Suzanne, we understand the emotional and financial toll of domestic relations conflicts. Whether you are facing a complex high-asset divorce, seeking legal separation, or adjusting existing child support payments, we provide skilled legal counsel designed to protect your interests and secure your family's future. When you need to hire a divorce lawyer in Arvada, CO, our firm offers the experienced, individualized support required to navigate Colorado's domestic relations courts.

We specialize in the following family law areas:

• Filing and negotiating contested and uncontested divorces.
• Calculating child support and spousal maintenance (alimony) under Colorado guidelines.
• Drafting prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to safeguard personal assets.
• Defending victims of domestic violence and securing temporary or permanent protection orders.
• Handling post-decree modifications of parenting time and decision-making responsibilities.

We are deeply committed to resolving cases outside of the courtroom whenever possible, reducing stress and legal fees for our clients. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, we possess the comprehensive litigation experience needed to aggressively advocate for your rights in front of a domestic court judge.

Professional Child and Family Investigator (CFI) Services

In high-conflict custody disputes, Colorado courts often appoint a neutral Child and Family Investigator (CFI) under state law to conduct a targeted investigation and make formal recommendations regarding the child's best interests. Attorney Stephanie Suzanne is a highly experienced, court-appointed CFI rostered in multiple judicial districts across Colorado. When appointed by a judge, Stephanie serves as a neutral, objective investigative specialist to evaluate parental responsibilities, decision-making, and parenting schedules.

A thorough CFI evaluation involves background checks, home visits, parent interviews, and conversations with teachers, therapists, and the minor children themselves. Stephanie provides the court with comprehensive, evidence-based reports that outline clear, actionable parenting time frameworks. Having a legally trained advocate performing these investigations ensures that the needs, physical safety, and emotional well-being of your children remain the absolute focus of the custody dispute.

Expert Family Mediation and Arbitration

Mediation is an exceptional tool that allows couples to maintain control over the outcome of their divorce rather than leaving critical life decisions to a judge. As a partner with Johnson Mediation Group, Stephanie Suzanne is a full-time family mediator and arbitrator. After completing specialized alternative dispute resolution training in 2016, she has helped countless families resolve conflicts peacefully, saving time, money, and emotional energy.

We provide comprehensive dispute resolution services, including:

• Half-day and full-day family mediation sessions for represented and pro se parties.
• Binding arbitration services to settle unresolved disputes without court delays.
• Med-Arb options, combining neutral mediation with immediate arbitration if a deadlock occurs.
• Bilingual mediation services conducted entirely in Spanish.

Our mediation sessions offer a safe, collaborative environment to problem-solve and negotiate fair parenting schedules, asset division, and maintenance terms. By working together to craft creative compromises, families can avoid the adversarial nature of trial and establish a cooperative framework for future co-parenting.

The Bilingual Advantage: Fluent in Spanish and English

What sets Attorney Stephanie Suzanne apart from other domestic relations practitioners is her unique background as a bilingual advocate. Fluent in Spanish and English, she is able to represent and mediate for Spanish-speaking clients without the need for costly interpreters, ensuring that nothing is lost in translation. Admitted to the Colorado bar in 2009, Stephanie graduated with her Juris Doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. Her extensive litigation background, coupled with her neutral investigative role as a CFI, gives her an unmatched perspective on resolving family disputes.
