Practical Divorce Strategies That Protect Your Long-Term Interests

Divorce can force you to make decisions about your home, finances, children, and future obligations before you feel ready. You may also be unsure where to begin, what information to gather, or which issues can require negotiation or court involvement.

At Law Office of Alexandra White, PC, we guide Centennial clients through these decisions with clear advice and an individualized strategy. Led by founding attorney Alex White, we work to reduce unnecessary conflict while protecting the financial, parenting, and personal interests that matter most.

We handle the legal details so you can focus on your family and personal responsibilities. Our advice reflects your priorities, the level of agreement between you and your spouse, and the long-term effects of any proposed terms.

Call (303) 647-4245 to discuss your circumstances and the decisions that may shape your Colorado divorce.

Divorce Services for Your Family

We represent clients in contested and uncontested divorce proceedings. The appropriate path depends on whether spouses agree on the major terms or need mediation, negotiation, temporary orders, or court intervention to resolve disputes.

Our divorce representation can address:

Property and debt division: Identifying marital assets and obligations and developing proposed terms for dividing them.
Parenting responsibilities: Establishing parenting time and decision-making arrangements for children.
Child support: Evaluating support issues under the factors and financial information relevant to Colorado law.
Spousal maintenance: Assessing whether financial support from one spouse to the other may be appropriate.
Divorce mediation: Preparing for structured settlement discussions aimed at resolving disputed terms.
Collaborative divorce: Using a cooperative process to pursue agreements outside traditional litigation.
Separation agreements: Documenting agreed terms concerning financial and family matters.
Post-decree modifications: Seeking or responding to requested changes after final orders when circumstances and Colorado law permit.

Individualized Strategies Without Unnecessary Conflict

Reducing conflict doesn’t mean overlooking important financial or parenting concerns. We identify where firm advocacy is necessary, explain the available options, and adjust our strategy as negotiations or family circumstances change.

Our service model combines big-firm experience with boutique-firm attention. You receive customized planning, clear communication, and practical advice focused on both the immediate case and the terms you may live with long after the divorce is final.

Key Issues in a Colorado Dissolution of Marriage

Ending the marriage is only one part of a Colorado dissolution of marriage. Depending on your circumstances, the case may also resolve marital property and debt, parenting responsibilities, child support, and spousal maintenance.

Property, Parenting, & Support

Colorado follows equitable distribution when dividing marital property and debts. The goal is a fair division based on the relevant circumstances, not an automatically equal split.

For families with children, parenting responsibilities encompass parenting time and decision-making. Parenting time determines when children are with each parent, while decision-making concerns authority over significant matters such as education and health care. Courts evaluate parenting plans according to the children’s best interests.

Filing Requirements

At least one spouse generally must have lived in Colorado for 91 days before filing for divorce. The case is typically filed in the county where either spouse lives, subject to current court procedures and the individual facts.

What to Expect During the Divorce Process

The precise steps and timing depend on the case. The process generally begins with filing the required documents and may involve formally notifying the other spouse, submitting a response, attending an initial status conference, and exchanging financial disclosures.

A divorce case may include these stages:

Assessing financial, parenting, and procedural concerns before filing.
Preparing or responding to the petition and related documents.
Gathering information about income, property, debts, expenses, and parenting needs.
Seeking temporary orders for issues that require attention before final resolution.
Negotiating directly or participating in divorce mediation.
Preparing for hearings or trial when disputes remain unresolved.
Reviewing agreements and obtaining final court orders.

We provide practical explanations throughout the process, including how current court requirements, deadlines, and the facts of your case may affect what happens next.

Divorce Cases in Centennial & Arapahoe County

The Arapahoe County District Court is part of Colorado’s Eighteenth Judicial District and handles family law matters, including divorce and parenting cases. The Arapahoe County Justice Center is one of the court locations serving the county.

Court location alone doesn’t determine the outcome. Agreements, evidence, family circumstances, and applicable law guide the substantive decisions. We explain the filings, disclosures, conferences, and deadlines that apply to your case so you can prepare for each stage.

"Would always be my choice"
I found Alexandria White through a neighborhood referral page and this office did not disappoint. From the very first meet (consult) she was very realistic about cost (less than I anticipated), timeframe, and the process. Advice was helpful in every choice I had to make. She was professional yet personal. There were a couple times my ex and his attorney were slow on deadlines and they took care of getting us back on track in a tactful and firm way while maintaining a positive tone with opposing counsel. The entire staff was friendly, efficient and I would make the confident choice to hire them all over again if needed.
