In Colorado, can an attorney represent someone without filing an entry of appearance?

Kelly Snodgrass

Divorce lawyer at Robinson & Henry, P.C.
Technically, an attorney enters their appearance by appearing in court.  So the attorney need not file a document indicating they are entering their appearance if they appear in court.  -Kelly L. Snodgrass

While I'm unemployed my wife has asked for a divorce. What are my chances of getting at least some temporary income support from her?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Flatiron Legal Advisors LLC
If she is working and you are not, you will have a good change of getting temporary maintenance. You have to ask for a temporary maintenance hearing at the initial status conference. You can ask as part of temporary maintenance for money to pay for an attorney for you, as the courts want the parties to be on an equal footing (i.e., make it a fair fight). If the two of you make less than $76,000 per year, there is a presumptive formula the court uses to come up with a temporary maintenance amount, otherwise it is based on what you need to meet your reasonable needs.  The court actually can order her to pay all of your attorney fees at the end of the case. You definitely should speak with an attorney, especially if she has one, as it's harder for men to get maintenance because of reverse sexism, but it's definitely doable. Hope this helps. You can reach Dave Rich at (303) 886-2516 or dave@flatironlegal.com. Dave Rich is an attorney licensed in Colorado. Responding to your questions does not create an attorney-client relationship between us. You should speak with an attorney to whom you have provided all the facts in your case, before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. I am not obligated to answer subsequent emails or phone calls unless you have hired me. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.

Does quit claim deed negate divorce agreement?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James Mitchell Tacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mitch Tacy Family Law Attorney & Mediator
Dear Sir, In 2010, if you would have had to bring money to the closing, it sounds like there was no ?profit? in the property. If your agreement was to sell and split the profits - and there were no profits to be had - you should be prepared to demonstrate those circumstances. Your biggest issue is probably going to be that 4 years after the divorce, your Ex's name is still on the original mortgage loan. It is very likely that a Judge will not simply allow her credit to be utilized (and essentially tied up) without any corresponding benefit to her. As to the quit claim, you indicated that this was necessary to facilitate the modification and that the two of you had an agreement. I think that you've answered your own question. Something needs to be done? I would recommend that you identify some solutions that are fair to the both of you, and which honor the agreements that you referenced. Good luck.
