Who does Stordahl Law help?
Stordahl Law helps Denver professionals, parents, business owners, and spouses ending long marriages address contested divorce and substantial financial issues. Patrick Stordahl’s focus is on cases where parenting responsibilities, business interests, retirement benefits, or support obligations require careful attention. The objective is a defensible position and a practical resolution—not conflict for its own sake.
You may be trying to maintain a demanding career while your spouse threatens prolonged litigation. You may have managed the household for decades without handling the investments. Or you may own a business whose value is disputed, even though its revenue pays the family’s expenses.
Those circumstances call for different priorities:
Professionals with children: Develop a realistic parenting schedule, address financial obligations, and keep adult disagreements out of daily parenting decisions.
Spouses leaving long marriages: Establish a complete financial picture, examine retirement assets, and evaluate property division alongside maintenance.
Business owners and their spouses: Assess business records, examine valuation assumptions, and consider settlement structures that account for operations and available cash.
Spouses facing entrenched disagreement: Identify the issues that genuinely require litigation and prepare evidence directed at those issues.
Start with the problem that needs attention now. Then build the broader case around verified information rather than your spouse’s predictions about what will happen.
Start with a focused conversation
You do not need to resolve every question before contacting a Denver family law attorney. Start with what is happening, what concerns you most, and whether anything requires immediate attention. A focused account is more useful than trying to reconstruct the entire marriage in the first conversation.
To prepare, gather what you already have:
Any filed court papers, existing orders, and known hearing dates.
A short summary of the disputed parenting and financial issues.
Available income records, account statements, and a basic asset-and-debt list.
Business or retirement information relevant to your main concerns.
Your immediate priorities for the children, housing, and monthly expenses.
Do not delay reaching out because the records are incomplete. Explain what is missing so the discussion can distinguish an information problem from a disagreement about terms. Be clear about any deadline rather than assuming there is time to address it later.
