Why Having Good Legal Representation Is So Important

Kids matter most, and our relationship with them is everything to us - that’s one of the reasons why facing the prospect of having to share them in a new way can be so scary and emotional. There are many tough and consequential decisions that need to be made about custody, including:

  • Who the children will live with most of the time
  • Who the children will spend holidays and other important occasions with
  • Who will be allowed to influence the children’s lives, including extended family members, new partners, etc.
  • What religion the children will be brought up in
  • Where and how the children will be educated
  • What medical care the children will recieve (and who will be responsible for paying for it)
  • How the children’s financial needs will be taken care of
  • And more.

Even with the most amicable spousal relationships, trying to come to an agreement on these issues can result in plenty of conflict. That along with the fears, sadness, and stresses you may be experiencing can quickly overwhelm you and prevent you from seeing clearly in order to make the wisest choices. Your and your relationship with your children, as well as every aspect of your lives together, is at stake, which is why you need to have our Colorado Springs custody lawyers on your side who can protect your parental rights and offer you reliable advice that will lead you to the best, fairest outcome.

What Makes New Leaf Family Different
New Leaf Family is a family law firm for every kind of family. There are many things that set our firm apart from the rest, such as:

We START With What You Want And Focus On Your Goals - Many law firms start by telling prospective clients what it is they can do for them, before taking the time to first clarify what it is that the clients actually want to happen, what it will practically mean for their and their children’s lives, and what it will look like/take to get there. When law firms start with their goals rather than their clients’, it usually results in a lengthy, costly legal battle that does little to actually build the next chapter of their lives. After the dust settles, parents are often left regretful - that’s not how it will be with us! Our Colorado Springs custody lawyers don’t do anything until we have first engaged you in a process of envisioning what your desires are for the future. From that point on, everything we do for you will be guided by your vision! Our goal is to empower you.

We Minimize Drama And Conflict, When Possible - Fighting is great for lawyers who charge by the billable hour, but it’s not so great for children involved, or for your emotional well-being, or for your budget. That’s why we work to collaborate and resolve issues outside of court. We have a variety of methods we can employ to make it easier for you and your spouse to work together, come up with the right solutions, and retain control over your family’s future, rather than defaulting to a judge who is a stranger to your family history and dynamics deciding for you. However, if conflict can’t be avoided, we aren’t afraid to stand up for your interests!

We Offer Affordable, Fixed Monthly Fees - Transitioning to life as a single parent is expensive and full of uncertainties already, and we get that. That’s why instead of charging billable hours and you not being certain how long your case will take or how much you’ll spend in total, we charge reasonable monthly costs. You can plan ahead and budget, because your costs will always stay the same regardless of how much activity there is in your case that month!

I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Shelly. She is truly a blessing! Shelly made sure I was aware of all the steps that would need to happen. She made this difficult and heartbreaking situation easier. I was so blessed to have her and Wendi standing beside me and making sure I was protected. Divorce was something I never wanted but I am so grateful I had them beside me. I can't thank them enough.

I found New Leaf on Google by chance and a year and a half later, I truly believe it was fate. Amber McClain was assigned to me as she has experience with relocation cases and although relocation cases are tough, I wanted to move our family to Texas to be near family. This group of women went above and beyond for not only myself but for my son. Amber and her amazing team are a force to be reckoned with !!!These girls know what they are doing, are well organized and stayed in constant communication with me during this process. Amber fought for what was in our sons best interest and helped me to find confidence in myself and my case after years of dealing with abuse. Amber, Ashleigh, and Alexa…. You girls are phenomenal and so knowledgeable in this field and I am just so thankful that I stumbled across this company and that I had you three pit bulls fighting in my corner. I can’t thank you enough for your patience and persistence in our case. New Leaf Family is affordable and I never felt taken advantage of during this process. From the first initial meeting with a Christopher I felt that this team would fight for my family and boy did they deliver. Thankful for you all and I would recommend this group to anyone who is going through a divorce or modification of custody. You will NOT regret working with New Leaf Family ❤️
