Why Choose Jones Law Firm, PC for Your Denver Family Law Needs
Family law cases carry lasting financial, parental, and legal consequences. Choosing the right attorney requires more than experience, it requires strategy, preparation, and a clear understanding of how Colorado courts decide cases.
- Experience with complex and high-conflict matters
Our attorneys handle contested divorce, custody, and post-decree disputes involving financial complexity and disputed parenting issues. We lead with disciplined strategy and thorough preparation—not reactive tactics. - Founder-led strategy with team support
Every case is directed by founder and managing attorney April D. Jones and supported by a coordinated legal team. Through daily collaborative reviews, we identify risks, challenge assumptions, and refine strategy at every stage. - Litigation-ready advocacy
We prepare every case as if it will go to court. This approach strengthens negotiations, improves decision-making, and ensures clients are ready if litigation becomes necessary. - Denver and Colorado court insight
Our Colorado practice provides practical insight into local procedures, judicial expectations, and how family law is applied in real cases, allowing us to offer realistic guidance and avoid surprises. - Steady, client-centered guidance
We help clients stay focused on long-term outcomes, balancing empathy with clear, direct advice during emotionally charged decisions.
As founder and CEO, April D. Jones explains:
“Doing the hard things means telling the truth, preparing carefully, and guiding people forward with clarity and care.”
How Colorado courts evaluate family law cases
Colorado courts focus on credibility, consistency, and child-centered decision-making. Judges rely on documented facts and patterns of behavior, not emotional arguments or accusations.
Preparation and conduct matter as much as legal positions. Clear records, honest disclosure, and steady behavior build trust with the court, while reactive decisions often undermine even strong legal arguments.
Effective strategy aligns with how courts actually function, not with myths or anecdotal advice. This is why early preparation and disciplined guidance shape long-term outcomes.
Our Denver Family Law Services
We provide comprehensive family law representation from the initial filing through post-decree matters. Our services are designed to reduce chaos, protect credibility, and support long-term stability.
Every case is approached with preparation and strategy, whether it resolves through agreement or requires court involvement.
Divorce and legal separation
We represent clients in both contested and uncontested divorce matters, including:
Each case is built around the client’s financial reality and long-term goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Child custody and parenting time
Custody matters require careful planning and disciplined advocacy. We assist with:
- Allocation of parental responsibilities for non married parents
- Parenting plans and decision-making authority for clients going through divorce
- Relocation matters
- Modifications and enforcement of existing orders
- Protecting children’s stability and parent-child relationships
Important note: Custody is not automatic 50/50 in Colorado. Outcomes depend on the facts, caregiving history, and each parent’s conduct.
Child support
Our child support services include:
- Guideline calculations
- Modifications based on changed circumstances
- Enforcement of existing orders
- Addressing income disputes and compliance issues
Clear documentation and accurate financial information are essential to fair, enforceable outcomes.
Paternity
We represent parents in matters involving the establishment of legal parentage, including:
- Establishing legal fatherhood or parentage
- Defining parenting rights and responsibilities
- Parenting time and child support orders
Establishing paternity provides clarity and legal protection for both parents and children.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
We draft and review agreements designed to promote transparency and reduce future conflict, including:
- Prenuptial agreements
- Postnuptial agreements during marriage
- Asset protection and financial clarity
- Setting expectations before disputes arise
Thoughtful planning often prevents costly conflict later.
Domestic violence and protection orders
We provide safety-focused legal advocacy in matters involving civil protection orders, including:
- Seeking protection orders
- Responding to allegations
- Evidence preparation and strategy
- Protecting credibility in high-stakes situations
These matters require careful handling and disciplined legal strategy.
Modifications and enforcement
When circumstances change or orders are not followed, we assist with:
- Modifying custody, parenting time, support, or maintenance
- Enforcing existing court orders
- Addressing post-decree compliance and accountability
Stability depends on orders that reflect current realities and are respected.
Mediation and alternative dispute resolution
When appropriate, we support resolution outside of court through:
- Mediation and negotiated settlement
- Alternative dispute resolution processes
- Strategic preparation before mediation sessions
Mediation works best when supported by litigation readiness. Our approach reduces cost and emotional strain without sacrificing protection or leverage.

Client testimonials and success stories
Trusted by the Clients We Serve
April is very knowledgeable of the law and will not let you down.
I cannot be more happy with the April Jones Law Firm! I hired her in 2012 for disputes over child support and other items, we had to go to court 3 times on separate matters and every time we were successful. April is very knowledgeable of the law and will not let you down. If I ever need a family law attorney I will call April Jones.
I will be recommending friends, family, and associates to Jones Law.
When I needed legal assistance I emailed roughly a dozen law firms that came up in a Google search. Jones Law was the only firm that got back to me with a personalized message about my particular situation. When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted by Emily Sturgill to go over my case. Emily was awesome. She walked through my information & was very empathetic to my situation. I later met with David Collins to address my issue. David was great & completely understood what I wanted & gave me a very quick resolution. I will be recommending friends, family, and associates to Jones Law.
April always valued how I felt and what I wanted the outcome to be for the case.
April Jones has represented me very well in my family court case. April always valued how I felt and what I wanted the outcome to be for the case. She understood my concerns and made sure they were kept on the forefront. I feel my cases outcome was positive for me and my family because of that. Thank you.
In the most difficult time of my life, April Jones was there for our family.
I am SO thankful for April and her team! She personally went well above and beyond the call of duty on my custody and child support case and helped me out of a nightmare situation with my ex-wife and restored balance and fairness in my family. I am happy, and most importantly the kiddos are happy!! Thank you SO much April for all you do!
Family law can be complicated and emotional, at Jones Law we focus on thoughtful preparation,
professional guidance, and attentive care from start to finish.
Frequently asked questions
Is custody automatically 50/50 in Colorado?
No. Courts decide parental responsibilities based on the best interests of the child, not a fixed 50/50 split. Parenting time and decision-making depend on each family’s circumstances.
If I keep the kids, can I keep the house?
Not automatically. Parenting arrangements and property division are separate. Keeping the home depends on equity, affordability, and the overall division of assets and debts, not solely on who has more parenting time.
How long does a divorce take in Colorado?
Colorado requires a 91-day waiting period from when the court gains jurisdiction over the responding party. Some cases resolve soon after; others take longer depending on complexity and disputes.
Do we have to go to court?
Not always. Many cases settle through agreement. Court may still be needed for case management, temporary orders, or unresolved disputes.
Is mediation required?
Usually, yes. Courts commonly require alternative dispute resolution before trial, though requirements vary by case and district. Exceptions may exist, particularly for safety concerns.
Can court orders be changed later?
Sometimes. Parenting time or support orders can be modified if the change serves the child’s best interests. Some modifications require showing a substantial and continuing change in circumstances. For child support, a “substantial change” generally means at least a 10% difference in the recalculated amount.
What happens if an order is violated?
Enforcement options depend on the order and circumstances. This may include filing a motion or seeking contempt remedies. Keeping records and communication organized is important.
What does a consultation involve?
A consultation is a confidential discussion of your situation, priorities, and legal options. The goal is to give you clarity about risks, trade-offs, and next steps to make informed decisions.
