POPP LAW SERVICES
CHILD SUPPORT
Regardless of whether you’re in Denver, CO, or New York City, the law requires that all legal parents support their children. This law still applies even if one of the parents has no legal or physical custody of the child. By law, the parent is still obligated to provide financial support.
MARTIAL PROPERTY
You can accumulate quite a bit during a marriage. Houses, cars, bank accounts, business interests, investments, electronics, and even airline miles need to be divided. A Colorado divorce attorney can work with you to divide your marital property amicably. If there’s a disagreement, then the lawyer may recommend mediation.
PATERNITY
The definition of paternity is the “state of being a father.” There are two ways to establish paternity. Voluntary: Both parents agree who the father is. The father’s name is added to the birth certificate once he signs a “Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity” form. Court Action: When there’s a disagreement about who the father is, the court will get involved.
POST DECREE
Once a divorce is final, the terms must be adhered to by both parties. However, if life, health, or financial circumstances change, one party can request a modification to the agreement, known as a post-decree. A post-decree modification involves a request to change terms such as child support, parenting time, visitation rights, or spousal support.
ESTATE PLANNING
It’s a common myth that estate planning is only for the wealthy. However, the truth is that everyone has an estate. An estate consists of everything you own, from real estate, investments, and retirement plans to your bank account and furniture. It’s imperative to have a plan that outlines your wishes.

WILLS & TRUSTS
It’s never too early to start planning your estate. Many people think that this task isn’t important until they’re older or they’ve amassed wealth. Life, however, can throw an expected curveball, and it’s necessary to have a plan in place for what happens both during your life and after your death.
