Case Study 1: Winning A High Conflict Divorce With Children
Background: The client, a Westminster wife and mother of two, had filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage. Among the contested issues were the distribution of substantial marital assets, allocation of parental responsibilities, and a child support arrangement. The parties were unable to communicate, and settlement was unrealistic.
Our Approach: Attorney Diane L. Kaiser worked hand in hand with the client through the divorce process, keeping her informed and empowered at each step. We helped frame a comprehensive review and resolution of the family’s finances, prioritized our client’s most important goals, and de-escalated conflict through careful negotiation. When mediation did not result in a successful resolution, attorney Diane Kaiser advocated on our client’s behalf in court, presenting compelling evidence about parenting abilities and care and custody of children.
Outcome: Our proposed parenting plan was adopted by the court, and our client achieved primary residential custody, as well as shared decision-making rights. We negotiated an equitable child support arrangement based on full financial disclosure. Our client participates fully in raising her children after leaving the process with confidence in her ability to sustain a family.
Case Study 2: Grandparents Protecting Their Rights & Maintaining Relationships
The Facts: When a sudden death left their adolescent grandchild with a non-family member caretaker, an Arvada couple hired our firm to protect their relationship with their grandchild. Although close with their grandchild, they were denied all access to this child and in danger of losing contact entirely. Colorado law supports grandparents’ rights in certain situations, but these cases are highly emotionally charged and legally intricate.
Our Strategy: Diane L. Kaiser and Cheri A. Kaser joined forces to develop a powerful, fact-based case showing how the grandparents served a positive presence in this child’s life. We carefully attended to statutory requirements, collected testimony from family members, and underscored the developmental and emotional value of maintaining this familial relationship.
The Result: The court awarded the grandparents regular, court-ordered visitation, in light of the child’s best interests. Our client was profoundly grateful for our resolve and compassion, and the family is now able to enjoy healthy time together while honoring court-required boundary limits.
Case Study 3: Obtaining A Fair Child Support Modification
Background: A father in Broomfield contacted us for help due to a substantial change in job. Although attempts to discuss options with his ex-wife were made, informal modification of the child support order did not succeed. The child support order was no longer workable and payments were becoming increasingly difficult, risking an eventual inability to comply.
Our Approach: Cheri A. Kaser, L.L.P. handled the start of this case including completion of all relevant documents and making an initial showing of substantial and continuing change of circumstances. Diane L. Kaiser reviewed the proposed arguments, making edits as necessary to ensure it satisfied all legal requirements and the self-interested request was fully supported.
Outcome: The court approved a downward modification of child support based on the client’s changed financial circumstances while still providing adequate support for the children. The completed case resolved relatively quickly and in a cooperative manner, preserving a positive co-parenting relationship for the parties moving forward.
Case Study 4: Establishing Paternity & Your Parental Rights
Our client, a young mother from Northglenn, required legal paternity of her infant daughter. Her daughter’s father had denied parentage at first and was not going to be a part of the child’s life or provide financial support. Our client sought to solidify child support as well as to ensure that her daughter has her own right to develop a relationship with her biological father.
Diane L. Kaiser counseled the client through the paternity action, subsequent DNA testing, and her rights in court. We carefully maintained firmness with sensitivity while facilitating a respectful settlement with minimal upset and bickering. After parentage was secured, we negotiated a parenting plan based on the needs of the child that ensured future contribution and support.
Legal paternity was established and a child support order entered. The father is becoming more active in his daughter’s life and working toward her emotional improvement and financial success. Our client has said that she feels hopeful about her daughter’s bright future.
Case Study 5: Defending An Unfairly Filed Contempt Motions
A Westminster woman was served with a citation for contempt for willful noncompliance with a parental rights and responsibilities order. The truth was that her inability to comply was beyond her control-the result of a medical emergency clearly documented by hospital records. Facing fines and even potential jail time, she contacted me right away.
Diane L. Kaiser thoroughly documented our client’s good faith attempts and inability to comply with the order, including obtaining hospital records and other correspondence with the opposing party. We made a full case to the Court that our client’s actions were based in a good faith effort to co-parent and that she was glad to make up any otherwise missed time.
The Court agreed that our client did not act in contempt, and dismissed all charges. Our client’s record was cleared, she was able to keep her parenting rights intact, and she did not incur further fines. This case shows why quality legal representation counts when complex family law issues are involved.
