Kane is experienced in helping clients navigate the complexities of divorce.
Understanding the Divorce Process in Colorado
In Colorado, divorce is referred to as “dissolution of marriage.” It is a no-fault state, meaning that neither party has to prove wrongdoing to file for divorce. However, this doesn’t make the process any less challenging. The typical divorce involves several key steps:
- Filing a petition: The first step is for one spouse to file a petition for divorce with the court.
- Service of process: The other spouse must be formally served with the divorce papers.
- Financial disclosures: Both parties are required to disclose all assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.
- Negotiation or mediation: The parties will attempt to resolve issues like property division, child custody, and spousal support.
- Final decree: Once agreements are reached or a court ruling is made, a final divorce decree is issued.

1. Experienced Divorce Attorneys
Since 2002, Jason P. Kane has represented clients in all types of divorces, from straightforward uncontested divorces to high-conflict cases involving maintenance or alimony disputes and division of substantial assets.
2. Negotiation, Mediation, and Litigation
Many divorce cases can be settled outside of court through negotiation or mediation, saving time and reducing costs. Most courts require you engage in mediation before the court conducts a contested hearing. Mediation is an informal settlement conference in which a third-party, typically a retired judge, helps the parties try to reach a resolution without incurring the expense and dealing with the uncertainty of a contested hearing before the court. Jason P. Kane has represented clients in mediation since 2002 and works to reach fair agreements that are acceptable to the client. However, if litigation becomes necessary, Jason P.
