A divorce is one of the most traumatic events a person can experience. We are committed to providing representation that enables our clients to make well-informed decisions during this most stressful period.
The personal injury attorneys at Travis Law Group understand the physical and emotional pain associated with an injury. We provide skilled and aggressive representation to help you and/or your loved ones who have been seriously injured or harmed by another.
The fees depend on the situation. The amount can vary from case to case. The contentiousness of the case and the property and debts held by a party can cause a case’s expenses to either increase or decrease, depending on the situation.
The first step is deciding whether you want an uncontested or contested divorce. An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which the parties agree on every matter of divorce, including property division, debt allocation, custody, decision making, parenting time schedules, and support. A contested divorce is one in which the parties do not agree on a division of property or money, ebt allocation, custody, decision making, parenting time schedules, and support. Finally, in a contested divorce, the parties will likely end up in a trial.
You should contact an attorney if you have questions about the divorce process or if you are considering handling your divorce case but find you have questions and concerns about the process. Unfortunately, many divorces require the assistance of an attorney.
Colorado tries to keep both parents involved in a child’s life. However, there are circumstances in which the Court may determine that one parent should have more parenting time than the other parent due to the child’s best interests. The amount of child custody/parenting time each parent receives depends on each case’s situation. The Court will ultimately determine the child custody/parenting time based on the child’s best interests.
Colorado law requires a mandatory 91-day waiting period after filing a Petition for Dissolution. However, the divorce process often takes much longer than the 91-day waiting period. So, unfortunately, there is no perfect answer to this question. In general, a divorce takes longer if there are complications and disputes, such as income disputes, parenting time disputes, the need for a Child and Family Investigator (CFI) or Parental Responsibility Evaluator (PRE), a high level of assets like many businesses or self-employment, or a high level of debts. Generally, a divorce can take anywhere from 6 months to 2+ years. The most significant determining factors will be the complexity of the assets and debts, the agreements or non-agreements between the parties, the parties’ availability, and the court’s involvement.
Going through a divorce is one of the most stressful events a person can go through in their life. Family law can be very complex and extremely distressing for the parties involved. Having a legal advocate/representative knowledgeable of the law and capable of focusing their efforts and attention on your legal needs is not only helpful. Still, it can also be stress-relieving and extremely beneficial to your case’s result. In most cases, it is crucial to obtain the help of a family law lawyer to assist you with your legal needs and to ensure that all avenues of legal options have been considered. A family law lawyer can help by providing a great deal of information and knowledge to the client.
I had the best experience working with Mr. Travis and his team. From the moment I walked into their office, I felt like family. They are not your typical law firm - they genuinely care about their clients. Mr. Travis is a rockstar lawyer who will go to bat for you. He knows the law inside out and fights hard for your rights. I felt so supported knowing he was in my corner. But what really stood out to me was how friendly and caring everyone on the team is. They made me feel comfortable and listened to my concerns. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and personal touch. Communication was excellent too. They kept me informed every step of the way and were always there to answer my questions. I felt like a priority, not just another case. If you need legal help, I highly recommend Mr. Travis and his team. They are the best in the business and genuinely care about their clients. Thanks, Mr. Travis, for everything you and your amazing team did for me.

I don't know what I would have done without Elizabeth Vanatta and her amazing paralegals. My child was in a horrible situation and she helped me get her out of it. She explained every step of the process and all the paperwork was completed accurately and in a timely manner. She is incredibly professional in the courtroom and excellent at what she does. Worth every penny.

Liz was a real lifeline in this process. From our first meeting, I knew right away that she was the right person I needed to not only guide me through this challenging time, but also to be a fair and compassionate attorney. She did such an amazing job at both.

We were so impressed with Travis Law Firm. Megan was super helpful, always quick to communicate and walk us through the process. Rich was very personable and down to earth, and worked tirelessly to ensure a positive verdict for our family. We are so thankful!
Amanda M.
The law firm of Rich Travis, Law was absolutely phenomenal in their preparation and execution of legal matters. Faced with a very challenging divorce proceedings, Counselor Travis and his paralegal Marissa were not just terrific in preparing the legal case, but were magnificent in preparing their client and reducing his anxiety prior to the court hearing. This team is excellent, and advantaged their client in multiple ways.
Mark Hertling

Rich Travis has represented me on a few cases involving insurance companies. He is a winner. He is thorough and has always been professional. Thanks to Rich, I have been able to pay my medical expenses and pocket a little bit for a rainy day. Rich is my attorney for life. He is personable and one of the most intelligent man I have ever met. By far, the Best attorney you can get to represent you. Thank you Travis Law Group. I recommend you to everyone I know.
Neal Y.
My wife and I went through a grueling drawn out legal process for over one year. Rich provided excellent legal advice and counsel which ended in a very positive verdict for us. He exhibited ethical character throughout our legal battle and was well prepared that led to excellent representation in our court appearances. In the beginning, Rich was upfront with us on the possible outcomes for our case and did not give us a sense of false hopes. We highly recommend his legal services.
Daniel
Mr. Travis and Megan heard my concerns regarding my divorce and presented them to court in a very professional manner. I would utilize them again if ever I need legal council. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth every penny.
Joe
SUPER EXCELLENT LAWYER! Mr. Travis has been my lawyer for a very long time and has done a super excellent job in not only fighting FOR me, but also PROTECTING my interests! I highly recommend him for any family court needs you might have.
A Very Happy Client
I have worked with Rich Travis and his office for the past 5+ years, and he has always ensured myself and my husband he would do everything he could to help in our parental custody/child support case. He and his paralegal, Marissa, are always quick to respond to any emails, and their willingness to help with sudden issues that may arise makes us truly grateful to them. One thing you don’t always find is a lawyer who cares about your life outside of the case. Rich takes the time to chat with you about everyday life, which is extremely refreshing-especially after you’ve talked business- he’s not trying to push you out of his office for the next client. I highly recommend Rich and his staff for any family custody/child support cases. I am confident in saying he puts in the work and research before going into a trial. Although our case/process has been a long one, Rich has been nothing short of a phenomenal lawyer, and we will continue to recommend and utilize him and his staff in the future if needed!

I have been struggling on this case for almost 5 years, seen more than 10 lawyers, and paid all kinds of lawyer fees or consulting fees. But you are the only firm that really spends time on the case and assists me.

I was involved in a rear end collision. Rich and Megan you guys helped me so much!!! You took my worry away! It felt nice that you guys always had my back! My first interaction was so great, you guys were so friendly. The most important thing was that you truly care! That makes the difference!!
Dee
Wonderful experience with Mr. Travis and his team! Handled the case professionally and communicated well.
Tyson
My experience with your firm was exceptional and I would highly recommend Rich to anyone in need of the best representation. I would love nothing more than to be able to share the positive experience I had in my own personal situation.
A Former Client
I couldn’t ask for a better, more well-rounded, suitable, professional, not just attorney, but respectable human in handling family law matters. I’ve used Rich Travis and his firm ongoing since 2003. He’s always been my go-to-expert in manners related to handling difficult manners with delusional exes who seem to continue their egregious tirades believing their somehow right within their ill-begotten parenting ideologies and deranged minds of being some victim using the slighted system against fathers. Colorado family law is skewed based on 35+ years of poor legislation and (Child Enforcements misguidance and misinterpretation of law) attempting to correct past bad fathers behaviors; they certainly have made father’s pay a terrible price for others past behaviors. It’s not based on equality nor does the state believe in father’s having rights as its Rich’s attempts to correct this ongoing problem. He has been there for me in just about all the way (when I’ve retained him) and when I didn’t use his expertise, twice due to my own impatience or lack of willingness to sum up the retainer, I soon regretted it by retaining far inferior attorneys. Yes, retaining Rich doesn’t offer his expertise at a light expense, but you get what you “retain” for and not at anytime did he stray me wrong and was well behind the wheel when representing me. He fights for you and your parental rights! Regardless of gender. He holds much honor and respect not just for his military service, but how he uses those Army values with his practice bestowed within his guidance, for direction and leadership.
Shawn
I cannot thank Rich Travis and his staff enough for helping me through a difficult time. They made the process simple and produced the results I was looking for. Great firm!
Robin
The Travis Law Group is excellent. Mr. Travis and Donna handled my divorce case with integrity, competently, and presented the truth. The court and judge agreed with our position and my case was settled to my satisfaction. The Travis Law Group is to be commended for their due diligence and expertise. I have faith in our legal system based on their superior work and expertise. Travis Law has my deepest respect and appreciation for a job well done. Thank you.
Thomas
Richard Travis and his staff did a great job, and I would recommend them! He explained all the steps and options and was very approachable, as was his staff.
A Former Client
Travis Law Group has represented me more than once. Mr. Rich Travis is very professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous in reviewing his cases. Dauna Overly is the greatest paralegal. His staff is fantastic and are very personable and adaptive. I feel confident when I hire Travis Law Group that they will represent and fight for my rights. I wouldn't retain any attorney but Travis Law Group for my legal needs.
Neal
Richard Travis and his staff did a great job throughout the process, and I would recommend them!
Andrew
One of my best decisions, choosing this law firm to represent myself and my family. The entire staff did an excellent job in assisting with all of our legal needs. Highly professional, compassionate, and dedicated to achieving our goal. Mr. Travis went above and beyond what I had anticipated/asked of him to do. Anyone in the Colorado Springs area should search no more if wondering/questioning whom to put such serious matters in the hands. Travis Law Group is where I would begin and end; this coming from a previous client in need. All of my cases settled and won. Thank you TLG.
Kelli
Mr. Travis and his paralegal Dauna were wonderful in representing me in my divorce and child custody case. They were both very knowledgeable about laws, and detail oriented in preparing my case. I was extremely impressed with their explanations of all of my questions. Mr. Travis spent time talking with me about a situation that could have potentially gone negative on me with my kids, and helped me form a positive plan to present in my hearing. The outcome for me and my children could not have gone better. Their firm was also cost cautious. I will definitely hire Travis Law if I ever need legal representation in the future.
Kelly
Travis Law Group was awesome!!! They represented me in my contempt case against my Ex-wife and I was very, very happy with the end result. They even helped me get a portion of my lawyer fees back ($3,000.00 to be exact) due to it being my Exes fault that I had to be in court again. Dauna Overly was excellent to work with. She was very responsive and made sure I was kept up to date on everything that was going on with the case with phone calls and almost daily emails and if I had any questions it was answered within a very short period of time, usually within an hour and less than 2. Megan Hersh was also very helpful and super responsive when it came to billing. Any question/s I did not understand about my bill was explained to me in detail and the reply to any such question was swift. The greatest part was when I ran out of cash they allowed me to pay off what I owed by working with me and establishing a payment plan. I will definitely recommend Travis Law Group as I am sure they will take care of other as they did me!! Thanks TLG!!!!!!
A Happy Customer!
Rich and his staff were professional, trustworthy and committed. The firm went out of its way to make sure all bases were covered in my case. He listened to all my concerns and provided sound legal advice. I feel like a received the best possible outcome. If you need an attorney this is your guy!
Michael
I was referred to Rich Travis almost 15 years ago from a friend experiencing divorce complications. Best decision to change law firms because I inherited an exceptional law family! Rich, Dauna, Mitch, Megan along with their support staff has gone above and beyond. They have impressed me with their personal attention to each case with impeccable responsive to questions and concerns. You actually feel like a member of the team working your case! Advice, court preparation and court presentation is extraordinary. A legal team that approaches law and clientele with honesty and integrity is a rare gem. Rich has my full trust and faith!!
Colleen

Steve
World class lawyer and team.
Timothy
Everyone's so helpful. Travis was awesome to talking to very helpful and knowledgeable. Lawyers can be stressful. This place was no stress. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
Manda
Mr. Rich Travis is one of the best attorney's that I have dealt with in my 27 year professional career. He is extremely competent in every situation I have had the privilege in working with him on. He is conscientious of my time and he works in the best interest of his client's. In addition, his staff, particularly Ms. Megan Hersh, was also a pleasure. She is attentive, thorough and prompt in her work on my particular case. I highly recommend that anyone that needs one of the best attorney's for a situation, that you would contact the Travis Law Group. You will not be disappointed.
Keith
If you need good help this is the place to go! Very caring and understanding people that work here!! If you need help see them!
Connie
We are very satisfied with the service. Richard immediately was on the case and got the threatening messages stopped, explaining that we had no liability in the matter. For peace of mind it was well worth the money and time. We were able to put the issue to bed.
Jack
Mr Travis, Dauna & his team were exceptional! From the very beginning of my case they made me feel at ease, listened thoroughly and explained in detail to what possible avenues I had as options. I can honestly say I believe that the outcome of my legal peace of mind was directly related to that fact that I hired the right lawyer. In the court room, it was amazing to see how truly prepared he was. He knew my case inside and out.
Sandra
I chose Rich Travis' Law Firm to represent me in a parenting-time case. Rich and his colleague Mitch were incredibly thorough, precise, and gave my case the specific attention that it required. Additionally, their paralegal Marissa Sterrett is incredibly sharp, organized, efficient, and has a keen eye for detail. Rich's staff gained my trust early in the process and took the very best care of my case to ensure a victory in the courtroom. My only mistake was not hiring Rich Travis' office at the very beginning of my divorce process, I would have had much better results early on in my case.
Carrie
You're in good hands with Rich. I've been working with Rich now for 7 months and he and his staff have taken amazing care of me. I made a great decision and even though I'm hoping to not need a lawyer again - haha, I'll be using Rich for any future issues I do have.
Rainy
Rich was strategic in his thinking and allowed me to participate in the strategy development. He provided honest advice even when it was against what I really wanted. He also empathized with me in a way no other lawyer has ever done. I felt like he really cared. He achieved the results I was seeking - overachieved in some areas.
Ron
Richard Travis, his firm and the rest of his team are all consummate professionals, from the attorneys and paralegals to their receptionist. I hired Richard Travis at the nascent stages of my highly contested custody battle. My case lasted a grueling 8 years. But during my family’s dire need of a go-to legal team, and when I (we) needed this requirement the most, I was very assured and at ease to have Rich and the rest of his A-team at my side. I was able to sleep soundly at night knowing that Rich was there at my side in the courtroom.
Rob
Rich has taken care of two problems for us. An attempt to change visitation rights by our great-grandson's grandparent and now assisting with a granddaughter's divorce situation. In both cases, he kept us in the loop.
Richard
Both Mr. Travis and Ms Overly worked tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare for our case and made sure no detail was missed. The results really showed in our case. The extensive knowledge, organization, professionalism, and expertise that Mr. Travis had in our case when cross examining the respondent was truly exceptional . . . his performance was impeccable.
Robert
My family and I had a very stressful situation that I was able to have remedied with the help and professionalism of Rich Travis and his staff. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Travis to anyone that is in need of legal services. His paralegal Dauna is absolutely amazing. They work as a team and provide the best service possible. There are not enough words to explain the greatness that they all did for me and my family.
Alan
Mr. Travis is excellent with law facts, communication, completing legal matters in an expedient manner. He listens, is very intelligent, and is in tune with your needs. I have recommended him to many persons and will continue to do business with him in the future.
