If you’re getting a divorce, this is probably not the best time to talk about a pre-nuptial agreement, but couples that have one find it much easier to make marital agreements.  A marital agreement in a divorce is the document that specifies how the marital property and marital debt will be divided between the parties.  In an equitable distribution state, like Colorado, it is not uncommon for assets to be split 50/50, even when one party clearly contributed a much larger share of the whole.  This explains why so many marital agreements are contested.

On the other hand, pre-nuptial agreements are designed to “predetermine” the outcome of a divorce in the event that it occurs.  While some people find them offensive, many well-to-do families insist on a one of these agreements to protect the family’s assets.  Divorce attorneys will often recommend a “pre-nup” for any couple, regardless of whether they’ve inherited the family fortune.  But unfortunately, many couples enter divorce court without any protection against the equitable distribution of their marital assets.  It may be too late to go back in time and craft a pre-nuptial agreement, but it is possible to insist on it with any future marriage.

Providing a positive working environment for your employees can be an incredibly simple task when you pay attention to the small details that make every day more enjoyable. When your people enjoy coming into the office they provide better service to your clientele, are more productive and are more likely to be committed to your company. Creature comforts like providing delicious filtered water, quality hot coffee, and even having a reliable ice machine on hand will make a huge improvement in your office environment. When you want these perks with the lowest stress from upkeep, go with a Best in Class machine like the Symphony Ice and Water Dispenser.

If you’re getting a divorce, you will soon find that the property division is one of the most contentious issues.  Outside of custody, the division of marital assets is the most costly legal battle you can enter into.  In the past, spouses who were splitting up were advised to act quickly and decisively with regard to the marital home, rather than waiting to sell it until the market improves.  However, after a protracted housing slump, the real estate market may dictate otherwise.  If your property settlement requires that your home is sold before marital property can be divided equitably, you may have to be patient.

The single serve bottled water industry has exploded to near ubiquitous status over the last ten years. This extreme growth is mostly fueled by fears over the quality of local tap water across America. A study done in 2003 of tap water in 19 US cities showed that the water quality in five was graded poor and eight more were only marked as being fair.  This is even more unsettling for children, pregnant women or those with compromised immune systems that may be at higher risk for illnesses from contaminates. While deemed more trustworthy by consumers, the waste and cost of these individual bottles of water have their own share of concerns. After looking at the options, it becomes clear why using a water delivery service to supply your home and office with filtered bottled water dispensers makes the most sense.

Providing your clients, guests and employees with high quality, delicious drinking water and office refreshments does more than provide creature comforts, it can also send a number of messages about your company. While it may seem small, not overlooking this vital part of your office can work wonders and leave a lasting impression on everyone who walks through your doors. When you utilize the services offered by one of your local bottled water delivery companies you will improve not only your working environment, you can save yourself hundreds - if not thousands - of dollars a year over the costs of purchasing your own refreshments at retail price of over the price of national water delivery chains.

If you’re facing a divorce, it might seem as if there are too many legal terms to remember, which can cause a lot of confusion at first.  But when you work with a divorce lawyer, he or she can explain the difference between spousal support, alimony and spousal maintenance.

Working with an experienced attorney will give you insight about each of these types of support, all of which may play an important role in your future.  According to a recent article published by the Marrison Law Firm, “What are the Differences between Alimony, Spousal Support and Spousal Maintenance?,” there are some very subtle differences between the three.

Most people, when they enter into marital agreements, rarely think they will ever revisit this document.  It is far more common to put it in a file and move on with your life, but it’s hard to predict what will happen in the future.  People change and situations change, which may render marital agreements invalid or require significant changes be made.

Have you been a victim of an unfair marital agreement?

If you feel like your ex-spouse may have provided false information or hidden assets in your divorce agreements, you are entitled to question it – even after the documents have been signed.  Working with a Colorado family lawyer will help you understand how your rights are protected under Colorado state law.   Regardless of when your agreement was originally signed, the state offers several legal reasons to invalidate it.  While an attorney can explain this in much more detail, there are some specifics that are written into the law.  One source of information on this topic is the Colorado Bar Association, which provides a summary called “Marital Agreements in Colorado.”

Getting a divorce is hard enough, but when one spouse has to pay child support the situation only becomes more complicated. Many people have heard stories about child support, and how hard it can be when one parent doesn’t want to pay. But one of the most common ways for a parent to try to avoid paying child support is for them to move to another state. Recently, there have been some changes in interstate child support laws. This has made collecting Colorado non-resident child support much easier. Now, states can act on non-resident child support orders in a more proper way. 

You would think that child support is something that will be easy to get. It’s a given, if you are divorced and have kids the noncustodial parent will have to pay child support. This is true when the parent is cooperative, but when the noncustodial parent is not willing to pay child support; it will have to be enforced.  When that person lives in another state, it is even trickier.  Although it is enforced by law, many people hire a lawyer to make it easier on themselves. Also, a lawyer can help you understand exactly what needs to happen to get your support. 

Having pure, great tasting water constantly at hand in your home by using a home bottled water delivery service isn't something that need be considered a luxury anymore. Many people skip past municipal tap water because of taste or health concerns and go right to purchasing individual bottles of water by the case. These bottles then fill up your storage spaces, refrigerator, and the empty bottles are scattered across your living space. (Eventually spending decades just sitting in a landfill somewhere.) When you consider that most of the cost of this form of bottled water is from the labeling, production of each individual bottle and lid it you realize that it is more and more of a waste of your time and money.

Using a Colorado Springs water delivery service for your home may seem like a luxury to some. Portable bottled water is everywhere, tap water is also always at hand but neither of these options fill your glass without their share of health and environmental concerns. Recent testing of municipal tap water in over 40 states had a number of alarming results. This testing found in excess of 260 contaminants, including 141 unregulated chemicals that public services lack standards for or methods of removing from our public water supplies. These contaminants are also why tap water often has an unpleasant taste and smell, which are the main reasons people cite as to why they do not consume more water daily.

We’ve all heard the rationale behind a couple’s decision to live together before marriage.  Most proponents of this practice would argue that it helps a couple be sure they are really compatible before tying the knot.  However, after realizing how prevalent cohabitation really is, some divorce lawyers in Colorado Springshave been sharing another set of statistics.  Instead of recommending people read the Time Magazine story, “Who Needs Marriage?” these attorneys are looking at the National Center for Health Statistics’ findings. 

According to this study, couples who live together prior to getting engaged are less likely to remain married for more than 10 years than couples who start living together after marriage.  These statistics have surprised many people by invalidating the most common excuse for cohabitation.  They are also good news for divorce lawyers in Colorado Springswho may have been concerned about job security.
