Our relentless attention to detail and preparation helps build your case. The Court takes into consideration many factors such as age, financial resources, earning capacity of the party seeking maintenance, the duration of the marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, and the other party’s ability to make the payments. Marital misconduct of either party is not a factor. A maintenance obligation expires upon the death or remarriage of the recipient spouse, unless ordered otherwise. We advocate for fair maintenance for you. The Colorado Springs attorneys of Anderson & Travis advocate for the equitable and fair application of the law in each client’s case. We also help you compile and obtain all the necessary financial information to support and substantiate your position.  Get Started Now!
