Biesterfeld Bryan D Jr

Divorce
Jennifer is a member of the Family Law Section of the Colorado and Denver Bar Associations, the Colorado Women’s Bar Association, the Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals, and the Metropolitan Denver Interdisciplinary Committee. She is also a past board member of the out of Court Divorce Center and the Board of the Littleton Historical Museum.
Child Support
Child support — Your children are entitled to support from both parents. Generally, a noncustodial parent will pay child support to a custodial parent. Courts must follow legal guidelines for basic child support, but they have discretion to order payments that maintain children at the standard of living they would have enjoyed if not for the divorce.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody and visitation — The primary consideration for the court in deciding where your children will live and who will make decisions for their health and welfare is “the best interests of the child.”
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Marital agreements — We negotiate, draft, and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for parties who want to protect their separate property in the event of divorce.
Spousal Support
Alimony — The court examines all relevant factors to determine whether it is appropriate for one spouse to support the other for a limited or extended period of time.
Legal Separation
Cheryl practices in the area of domestic relations. She understands that going through a divorce is difficult and approaches every case with the client’s best interest as her main focus. Her work in family law matters includes dissolution of marriage, legal separation, pre-marital agreements, post-nuptial agreements, parenting time issues (custody), child support, drafting and reviewing marital agreements, high conflict matters, high asset cases and modifications of orders and agreements. Cheryl litigates complex matrimonial and family law matters while putting the client’s goals and needs first. Every effort is made to achieve resolution never losing sight of the fact that some matters may require judicial intervention.
Annulment
RWO provides skilled representation for the dissolution of marriage. We advise clients on their options — divorce, simplified divorce, legal separation, annulment — and the different processes for achieving their goals, such as traditional litigation, mediation, and collaborative divorce. Colorado is strictly a no-fault divorce state, so petitioners do not allege marital misconduct as grounds for dissolution. However, no-fault divorce is not the same thing as uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is one where the parties arrive at a complete marital settlement agreement, which they present to the court for approval. If the parties cannot reach a settlement, any outstanding issues are set for trial and the divorce becomes contested.

Criminal Defense
Bill Rapson’s practice focuses primarily on litigation and arbitration matters and includes securities work, insurance matters, and a wide variety of other kinds of cases, including representation of both plaintiffs and defendants. He brings decades of wisdom to assist his clients in a career that started at Stanford Law School and has included service as Chief Trial Deputy in the Denver District Attorney’s Office. His practice ranges from small traffic matters to major civil and criminal matters and is very broad in scope.
