Divorce
In our experience, many divorcing couples will either agree at the outset that they want to compromise on all major issues, or they agree at the outset that they have no intention of giving in on any issue that doesnâ€™t go their way. But when a couple decides to treat a divorce like a negotiation in which both sides will have to give up some things to achieve success, it can lead to what is known as an uncontested divorce. This doesnâ€™t mean that there are no conflicts, or long and hard-fought negotiation sessions, but it does mean that the couple has entered the process with the mindset that they will do everything to avoid going to court to have a judge determine who gets what. If properly handled, an uncontested divorce typically moves through the system much faster than a contested divorce, creates less conflict and disharmony, and keeps the details of the divorce out of the public record.

Child Support
Family law is different than most other types of law for two very unique reasons. First, there are a lot of emotions involved. And second, more often times than not, there is no actual guilty party. Family law is just as much about the law as it is about the people that it involves. Whether itâ€™s creating a timesharing agreement as part of a parenting plan schedule or figuring out the dollars and cents of child support payments, a good Colorado Springs Family Law Attorney will approach every client not only as an individual case but also as a unique human being who has specific wants and needs. We are proud to serve clients in Colorado Springs, Monument, and Pueblo, Colorado.
Child Custody and Visitation
Colorado uses the term 'parental responsibilities' to refer to child custody. The court looks at a number of factors when determining the amount of time a child will have allocated to his or her parents. An even split of time does not work for all families, and so the court evaluates what would be best for the child and not necessarily what the parents want. In many cases, and in a perfect world, the parents would each want full custody of their child or children. However, in reality, they may each only have a certain amount of time with them per year.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
Family law attorneys also draft prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and handle child abuse and neglect cases as well.
Spousal Support
Getting a divorce is no easy feat. Even with the most amicable of partners, divorce is a long and lengthy process. In Colorado Springs, divorce is referred to more formally as a dissolution of marriage. It is the exact same thing as a divorce, concluding in the same results, just with different terminology. When filing for a divorce, there are a few key things to know before jumping right in. For one, Colorado is a no-fault state. This means that if you are thinking you will get more money out of the divorce because your spouse was having an affair, you are wrong. The courts have no interest in misconduct. This means that when the court decides how to divide property or grant alimony, they take a completely objective stance. There is no gold stars for being a well-behavedâ€™ spouse. It is also worth noting that for a divorce to be granted in Colorado, one spouse must have lived in the state of Colorado for at least 90 days before filing divorce paperwork. In addition, even after the divorce case and paperwork is completed, the couple must wait three months before they are legally considered divorced, and single.
Legal Separation
A legal separation is a court-ordered lawful arrangement in which a couple remains married but lives separately. In Colorado Springs, Colorado, a legal separation is no less stressful or lengthy than a full-on divorce. Couples filing for a legal separation will go through all of the same processes that a divorce case would have them go through. The downside (or upside, depending on how you look at it) is that they are still legally married by the end of it. A legal separation is really only beneficial in the event that both parties want to share health care plans and insurance policies, military benefits and the like. A common reason for legal separation rather than divorce is that a couple may be a part of a religion that does not allow or think highly of divorce.

Criminal Defense
As a skilled criminal defense attorney, he understands that sometimes his clients need both a fierce advocate and dedicated legal counsel. His clients are not just another case number. He is committed to providing all of his clients the personal attention that they deserve because he understands how serious criminal charges can be â€” and he wants to do all that he can to help his clients reach a positive outcome.
DUI/DWI
DUI/DWI â€” Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is very dangerous, because these substances alter perceptions, slow reaction time, and compromise focus and concentration.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is a legal action in which a claimant files a civil suit against a defendant that he or she believes intentionally and willfully caused the death of a family member. A defendant in a
Traffic Violations
Speeding â€” Exceeding the posted speed limit not only increases the impact of an accident, but it also causes drivers to lose control of their vehicles, making an accident far more likely. Speeding also reduces the amount of time a driver has to bring a vehicle to a complete stop.
Fraud
When facing federal charges, you will be up against highly skilled, trained, and aggressive prosecutors from government agencies who work diligently to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. Many lawyers only understand state-level charges; it takes a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney, well versed in federal rules and regulations, to properly defend you from apex attorneys for the prosecution team. If youâ€™re facing severe drug charges, firearms and weapon offenses, or tax fraud, you need to hire a criminal defense lawyer now.
Burglary
Colorado doesnâ€™t take kindly to property crimes and punishes it severely to deter any future potential criminals from even considering them. Vandalism, defacing property, arson, and burglary are just a few of the flavors of property crime you could be charged with if youâ€™re in the wrong place at the wrong time. And the consequences for these actions? At its lightest, jail, fines, and possibly community service. For more severe crimes, you could be facing a prison sentence and hefty fines. Contact us immediately to speak with a Colorado Springs criminal defense attorney if youâ€™ve been charged with a property crime. Our team is knowledgeable and experienced to protect your rights and defend you against the most serious charges.
White Collar Crimes
Have you been accused of and charged with white collar crimes such as embezzlement, fraud, or corruption? There are a number of obscure, esoteric state and federal laws which prosecutors will leverage in a case against you in an effort to make you plead guilty, or make a deal. Never speak to state or federal persecutors without first speaking to a trusted white collar criminal defense attorney like our experts at Kinnaird Law. Call us immediately if youâ€™re facing any criminal charges.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Misdemeanors are less serious criminal violations. These violations carry a sentence length of up to 18 months in county jail. It is critical to have an attorney because these charges can often be escalated to felonies.
Embezzlement
Have you ever been in a store and accidentally put something in your pocket because your mind was elsewhere, only to walk out of the store without paying for it? If youâ€™re like countless others in history around the world, youâ€™ve just committed a theft crime. Granted, every theft crime is nuanced and different from the last, ranging from petty theft to grand larceny and embezzlement. You need an experienced Colorado Springs theft lawyer on your side to handle your case properly, lest you get stuck with an inexperienced attorney who botches your defense and youâ€™re facing serious legal charges. Contact Kinnaird Law today to speak with an expert criminal defense attorney if youâ€™ve been accused of theft crimes in Colorado.
Drug Crimes
Assault
Contrary to popular belief, assault does not mean that you hit, nor harmed, another party. Assault, by its legal definition, is the act of intimidating and threatening someone to the point that they fear for their well being. What we typically consider assault is actually battery. However, the two often go hand in hand, resulting in serious criminal charges with steep fines, restraining orders, and possibly time in a correctional facility. In some cases, charges for assault and battery can be defended if your Colorado Springs criminal defense attorney proves that you acted in self-defense, or out of necessity. If youâ€™re facing assault charges, it is imperative that you call our offices to speak with a criminal defense lawyer immediately so that we can begin building your defense to reduce your charges and sentencing, or have them dismissed entirely.
Murder
My job is to help my clients achieve the best possible outcome for their cases. Whether that means reducing the charges against a person charged with murder, or helping a spouse obtain a fair divorce settlement, I will fight to protect the rights of those I serve. Please contact us today if you need the help of an experienced and compassionate law firm.
Probation Violation
Arson
Restraining Order
In Colorado Springs, a civil restraining order is first granted with a temporary restraining order. This will then result in a court date which will determine if the restraining order is to be permanent or continued. A restraining order is not to be used or taken lightly, either. If you are being restrained or are the person requesting the restraining order, there are key points to understand, such as consequences, processes and purposes.
Manslaughter
Wrongful death suits are sometimes filed against defendants who are found not guilty of a murder or manslaughter charge. The most famous example was the
