- Q. my ex-wife claimed all the children as dependents on her tax return.
- A: Good Morning,
I am very sorry to hear of your circumstances and know that it can be an incredibly difficult and frustrating experience when an ex-spouse does not follow Court Orders. It sounds like you have several issues going on, including: tax, parenting time, insurance, etc.
Your best bet, if you desire further options, is to consult with a qualified family law attorney near you to review the Court's Order(s), discuss what has happened since, and talk about your option(s) moving forward. Again, I am very sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time and sincerely wish you and your children only the absolute best that life has to offer.
- Q. Is it beneficial to separate assets prior to dissolution of marriage? We have agreed to who gets what - house & car

- Q. My wife wants a divorce and "agrees" to split everything 50/50. Are we legally obligated to have a lawyer?
- A: Good question, under Colorado Domestic Relations law, there is no default/affirmative legal obligation to have an attorney represent you in the matter. By the default rules, you are legally permitted to represent yourself. Knowing that the law is complex and self-representation can be a risky endeavor, I suggest you retain (or at least consult) with an attorney licensed in Colorado and qualified in the domestic relations field. Many offices offer free consultations and would be more than happy to discuss your case with you.
I sincerely wish you all the best!
