Upset child between arguing parents at home

Denver family law firm provides clarity, compassion, and legal strength in complex paternity cases across Colorado.

In a legal landscape where parenting rights are too often obscured by uncertainty, Jones Law Firm, P.C. is providing critical clarity for Colorado families navigating paternity cases. With over two decades of leadership in family law, this African American woman-led firm equips mothers and fathers with the tools to secure their rights, and protect their children’s future.

“Legal paternity isn’t just about biology, it’s about access, stability, and a child’s right to be supported,” says April D. Jones, founder and managing CEO of Jones Law Firm, P.C. “Whether you’re a father seeking parenting time or a mother pursuing child support, legal recognition is the gateway to action.”

Legal Paternity in Colorado: Rights and Responsibilities

Under Colorado’s Uniform Parentage Act, legal paternity must be established before the court can determine custody, child support, or parental decision-making authority. Without it, fathers have no enforceable rights, and mothers may be unable to collect the financial support their children deserve.

Jones Law Firm, P.C. provides comprehensive support for establishing or contesting legal paternity through:

  • Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP)
  • Administrative Paternity Orders
  • Court-Ordered DNA Testing and Hearings

Each path is tailored to the family’s circumstances, ensuring children have access to the emotional, financial, and legal support of both parents.

A Proven Leader in Colorado Family Law

Founded in 2000, Jones Law Firm, P.C. has successfully resolved more than 4,000 family law cases and is recognized for its strong, strategic advocacy. Led by April D. Jones, a legal trailblazer appointed to a U.S. Senate advisory committee and former judicial nominating commissioner, the firm is deeply engaged in Denver’s legal and civic community.

With a full team of attorneys, paralegals, and Spanish-speaking staff, the firm delivers personal attention with big-firm capability, always guided by its motto: “We choose sides. Yours.”

“Our attorneys are not only legal strategists, they’re allies,” Jones adds. “We don’t just represent clients. We fight for families.”

Jones Law Firm’s approach balances assertive courtroom strategy with empathy and emotional intelligence. From amicable acknowledgments to high-conflict paternity disputes, every case is handled with dignity and diligence.

Parents across Colorado turn to the firm for help with:

  • Parenting time and custody rights

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.”

We can now open up another chapter of our lives.

“I went to Jones Law Firm, PC , needing help with my children’s custody case. April took my case, even though it was very short notice before the court date. Immediately April and all her staff members started gathering all the details and information from me to prepare for court. Daily April and/or her staff members were in contact with me for any updates on what was going on. I now have full custody of my two beautiful children. My family and I would like to say “Thank you so much” to everyone at the Jones Law Firm. We can now open up another chapter of our lives.”

“Having had the pleasure and experience of having Ms. April Jones of Jones Law Firm, PC represent me in my recent divorce, I must say how truly BLESSED I was.

Ms. Jones’ best quality as an attorney is her ability to take charge.

“Ms. Jones was my attorney in 2002. She is sharp, quick and strong and we won my case decisively. I am currently having Ms. Jones represent me again on another issue in 2010-2011. Based on my observation, Ms. Jones is sharper and stronger and has attained greater knowledge and insight. I have noticed that Ms. Jones desires to win each case with integrity. She cares about her client’s welfare at all times. Ms. Jones’ best quality as an attorney is her ability to take charge. I have recommended Ms. Jones to my friends and co-workers.”

April settled my case literally out in the courthouse hallway.

“April settled my case literally out in the courthouse hallway.I had a landlord that failed to make promised repairs to my apartment. I was paying for a two bedroom,two bathroom place but only one bathroom worked. He said he would repair it when I moved in but 7 months went by and he was still making excuses. He lived in hawaii, the apartment was in california and he used that as his excuse. I decided to stop paying him until he fixed the bathroom I had BEEN paying for. After 3 months of that he arrived at my apartment and decided to take me to court rather than fix the bathroom and collect back rent which I had been holding onto. April negotiated a deal before we went into court for an immediate cash payment for 1 month and I could take a week to move out. My landlord accepted and a possible unlawful detainer ruling was avoided. I was able to use the 2 months rent I still had to find another apartment which would have been much harder to do with a unlawful detainer on my record.”
