Protecting Children and Parental Responsibilities

When children are involved, ensuring their wellbeing remains paramount. The legal team serves as dedicated child custody lawyers and advocates for parental rights in Larimer County District Court:

• Parental responsibilities and decision-making: Securing decision-making authority and parenting schedules that foster healthy parent-child relationships while reflecting Colorado best interest factors.
• Child support lawyers: Calculating accurate child support obligations under state child support guidelines, addressing health insurance expenses, and litigating support modifications.

Collaborative Mediation and Courtroom Advocacy

While Sarah Lamborne is a formidable litigator when court intervention is inevitable, Fort Collins Family Law frequently utilizes mediation to help parties resolve disputes amicably.
