Multi-State & International Divorce Lawyers in Centennial
We Can Help Simplify This Complex Process
Divorced parents who reside in separate states or countries face challenges in their post-divorce lives. Regardless of the distance that separates a mother and father, they must still work together and focus on the best interests of the children. At the Law Office of Alexandra White, PC, we can help you understand your options.
Pre-decree jurisdictional matters involve choosing the jurisdiction that will preside over parenting and support issues. Post-decree matters involve primarily enforcement, modifications, parental relocation, and child abduction.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Call our Centennial multi-state and international divorce attorneys today at (303) 647-4245. We also represent clients throughout Arapahoe County.
Representing Centennial Residents with Complex Post-Divorce Disputes
Family law attorney Alex White, the founder of our firm, takes on the complexities of multi-state and international jurisdictional issues that arise, both before and after the decree.
- Parental abduction — All states are supposed to abide by another state's orders uniformly. Tragically, this does not always happen. Some states have adopted the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA) and related warrants while others have not. Other states mandate the opening of an interstate case in the area where the children are believed to reside. We explore all options to have children returned, facilitating AMBER Alerts and partnering with local law enforcement and passport agencies.
- Relocations — Out-of-state and international relocations are governed by the same rules involving travel distance and other circumstances. International moves often require destination countries to be signatories to the Hague Convention and willing to enforce Colorado state court decisions.
- Child abuse or neglect — If abuse or neglect of a child residing in another state is suspected, we move quickly to pursue an emergency allocation of parental responsibility when Colorado will assume jurisdiction (whether temporary or permanent). Upon approval, interim steps can be taken to protect the children.

Michael Cheroutes, Jr. negotiated a “Miracle ” settlement for me with exceptional skill and instinct. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of my divorce and I highly recommend Michael to negotiate your divorce.
Michael was willing to really listen to me:
I had spoken to dozens of attorneys and had even hired a divorce firm, before I was referred to Michael, but they all failed to put in the initial time and energy into fully understanding and comprehending what I was saying about my case. Great lawyers know the value of listening and Michael put in the energy and passion up front, at our initial consultation, that allowed him to extract and analyze the relevant facts he needed to recommend a plan.
Michael knows the Law and is a stellar communicator:
Great lawyers don’t allow their clients to go down expensive rabbit holes. Michael explained clearly what will work and what I needed to focus on. His guidance allowed me to identify what documents and evidence I needed to collect to assist him with my case while saving me money. Michael’s communication with the opposing counsel was genius; he ignored the counsel’s reputation and my dire warnings about him and developed his own professional, strategic and healthy skeptical relationship with him that paid off handsomely for me in the end.
Michael is smart and creative:
Great Lawyers use their knowledge and creativity to craft solutions that I never even realized were possible. Michael approached my case and new information with an open mind and tailored creative solutions to any and all obstacles despite me telling him that my prior attorney said this or that couldn’t be done. We hit one big, tall, unbreakable brick wall and I was in despair what to do. Michael used perfect judgement in determining that the Wall was not worth climbing but instead used it as a negotiating tool where it mattered most and served me best.
Michael is a Great negotiator:
When it came time for mediation Michael helped me prepare and talked with me at length about what to expect which calmed me. Michael summed up my case to the mediator with stunning accuracy and compassion. He had developed a legal and moral argument of why my offer was truly the only fair and equitable outcome. It was remarkable to witness and moved me to tears to realize not only had Michael been listening to me all along but that he really believed in my case and that it mattered to him enough to be well prepared and organized when it was crunch time. The mediator agreed with his argument and I assume she helped opposing counsel agree as well because I received more then I dreamed was possible on the first offer. I was elated with the results and the papers were signed that day!
Great lawyers know how how to prepare effective, clear and well-reasoned legal documents:
As awesome as mediation went I had no idea how important the “boiler plate” legal document, memorializing our agreement was going to be. The first draft written by opposing counsel depressed me and I truly didn’t feel comfortable signing it - there were way too many “what if’s” left out. I expressed my concerns to Michael who told me not to worry and that he still had to review it. The next version, which Michael edited, was effective, clear and well reasoned and addressed every one of my concerns eliminating all my “what if’s”.
A Great Lawyer assembles a great team around him:
Michael and his para-legal Laura, were proactive and in constant communications keeping me updated and informed. I was so grateful to have such a caring and knowledgeable team assisting me during one of the most difficult and dark times in my life. Their passion for serving others was contagious and refreshing. Michael and Laura’s commitment to making things a “little bit better for me” have and will make a dramatic and positive impact on the rest of my life.- Cassandra -

Kevin D Murphy was my lawyer for my divorce which was very very complicated and multifaceted more so than your average divorce. He is very professional and is able to break down complicated legal jargon into a single comprehensible format. Mr. Murphy always showed up on time and professionally dressed. He always kept me updated me as soon as he got new information in the divorce. A divorce is a very long and stressful ordeal. Mr. Murphy took the stress out of the entire situation and had my back at every point in the divorce. I was able to call and or email him 24-7 365 with any questions comments or concerns always promptly replied to the phone call or email with all the information I needed and then some. Mr. Murphy was an advocate for me and my children and facilitated the best possible outcome of the divorce. Mr. Murphy sent me a well documented monthly invoice with all of the fees associated which always checked out. He was worth every penny, and also is a pleasure to be around he's very charismatic and very experienced. To list a few of the items that Mr Murphy did are as follows.
1. He sat down with me and took the time to establish my sworn financial statement that a corporate accountant could go through with a fine-tooth comb.
2. He set up a private investigator.
3. He helped triangulate between child support payments and the payment registry as well as triangulate with the child support enforcement office technician.
4. He recommended and gave excellent tax advice for the fiscal year of which we got divorced which was very complicated.
5. He triangulated with CPS caseworker and local sheriff's involved.
6. Here ran background checks on Associated individuals involved.
7. He was able to pull from all of the information I had given him and extract what he needed to write very professional legal documents.
These are just some of the skills that mr. Murph has. His attention to detail is amazing he caught things that I totally missed. If you are going through a divorce I would personally and only recommend Kevin D Murphy he is a multi-tasker extraordinaire and truly a subject matter expert at what he does. He has improved me and my children's quality of life significantly and alleviated the stress out of the whole entire situation.- Anonymous -

I had the most difficult task of filing for divorce this year. To say that divorce is devastating is an understatement. Kevin was so kind, and really took the time to listen to me, my needs and my wants. The meetings were conveniently scheduled, and he kept them as short as possible.
Kevin was also very communicative regarding the process and what needed to be done. He would simply ask me for the information needed, and fill out all of the long and complicated paperwork for me. He also did an amazing job explaining the paperwork, what it meant and what my rights were.
On top of this, I also moved out of state. Even from 1500 miles away, the communication was amazing, and I never felt uninformed.
Thanks to Kevin, this experience was far from the nightmare I expected. Working with him was a pleasantry, even though the circumstances were less than ideal.- Katie -
Krista, Thank you so much for your help and getting me through this difficult situation.
