We really appreciated Sara's patience and guidance. She was flexible and patient and willing to work at our pace. She would help point out blind spots and make sure we considered different scenarios. It was nice to feel like we were talking to a real person who was both legally trained and compassionate. It was empowering to feel like we owned the process and reassuring to know that we had someone to keep us on track. Thanks for all your help Sara!

Sara was knowledgable and supportive. I felt she was fierce in her support and detailed in explaining and answering all my "but why" questions. She charged fairly.

My previous attorney was not very effective, so I hired Sara. Sara is very knowledgeable and effective. I am very pleased with her professional and dedicated help, which let me achieve the outcome I wanted. I got my house back and got a very good custody schedule for my son. Even though the custody was contested, Sara helped guide me through the process, with legal and emotional issues, in a way that made the process less stressful. She looked out for the wellbeing for my son and advised how to plan custody so my child would not be stressed. Sara knew when to push and fight back and when to advise a more collaborative approach. She does not get intimidated and gave me the strength to go through this divorce. I really appreciate her work as an attorney and her as a person.

I have known Sara Colpitts for over 17 years. Not only is she a smart, sensible and dedicated attorney, she is a kind and caring person who goes above and beyond for her clients. Anyone would be lucky to have Sara by their side as they navigate challenging issues related to family law. I have referred clients to Sara over the years and they have all been happy with her services. I highly recommend Sara!

On average, it takes about 1 to 1.5 years to finalize a divorce. This depends heavily on the client and opposing counsel's willingness to negotiate and act in good faith.
I try to make the process as collaborative as possible in order to avoid unnecessary billing throughout the divorce. The more you and your ex-partner are able to work together to end things amicably, the cheaper your divorce will cost.
I've been practicing law for 23 years and have specialized in family law for the last 8 years.
There are many different types of alternative dispute resolutions, like mediation, which our team offers.
Yes! Unless there is a restraining order in place.
The courts and attorneys utilize a computer program that factors custodial time, parental income, and other factors to determine the appropriate amount of child support to be received.
Until the child turns 18 or has graduated high school.
If its a short term marriage (under 10 years), it's generally half the length of the marriage. If it's a long term marriage (over 10 years), there's no predetermined end date and will be determined during the proceeding(s).
That depends on the kids' ages. As the kids get older, they're able to have longer time spent away from each parent, but when they're younger, it's better for the child to go back and forth more often.
No. We can equalize the assets, but sometimes it's beneficial to have an in-kind division, especially for stocks and retirement accounts.
Very rarely - unless there is a major issue such as parental abuse, drug use, or other reason that your co-parent is deemed incapable of effective parenting. The court's standard belief is that it's better for the children to have contact and time spent with both parents.
