Navigating the Family Law Process in Colorado Springs
Knowing what to expect can ease the stress of legal cases. In Colorado Springs, family law matters often start when one party files a petition in the Fourth Judicial District Court, which covers El Paso and Teller Counties. Many cases require mediation before any contested hearing, and local judges expect both parties to cooperate and present organized information. Our attorneys guide you with clear instruction on documentation, prepare you for court appearances, and explain how Colorado law—such as the "best interests of the child" standard—influences custody and asset division. Throughout your case, we provide updates and maintain open communication so you always understand your status. With years of collective experience in local courts, we help anticipate each stage and minimize surprises. Our goal is to help you move forward efficiently while protecting your rights at every step.

"Outstanding Representation!"
Matthew Drexler represented me during a difficult period of time in my life. He did an outstanding job understanding all of my issues, was very responsive, and gave me the best advice possible. Additionally, his staff was very helpful and the whole team worked together to make this a rather fairly pleasant experience for me. I couldn't have asked for better representation. I am very happy with the end result and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has made the decision to file for a divorce.- Jason R.Colorado Springs, CO -
"They are very thorough, make every effort to be completely prepared, and tell you clearly what to expect."
Great law office! I would recommend anyone in Colorado springs who needs a divorce or family law lawyer to go here. Brian Melton was my attorney but Matt Drexler was involved as well. They are very thorough, make every effort to be completely prepared, and tell you clearly what to expect. Everyone I've worked with has been caring and supportive and it's obvious they understand their clients are going through difficult situations.- Dan L. -
"Everyone on the staff always treated us like family."
Mrs. Drexler was awesome! We had a tuff case, fighting for custody of our grandson after his mother's passing. Mrs. Drexler was very patient and understanding with me, knowing how nervous and confused at times I was. She was quick to respond to emails, no matter the importance! Matt and Caitlin Capo were also great! There was always someone available and willing to help. Everyone on the staff always treated us like family. The cost was definitely worth the knowledgeable and family oriented services we received! We would definitely recommend Drexler Law to anyone in need of a friendly knowledgeable Law firm! Thank you so much to everyone at Drexler Law, for everything you have done for me and my family! A+++++++++- Michael M., CO -
"I made the right decision in choosing Drexler Law Firm."
I had a fantastic experience with Drexler Law firm. A few years ago I had gone through a very rough period in my life, and voluntarily turned over my children to their mother for primary care while I hunted for jobs. However, I did not use an attorney, and wound up giving her complete custody, something I had not expected, and was told I would not get them back. After getting my job back, I researched law firms and saw that Drexler specialized in family law, child support, and custody issues. They were up-front with me on costs and chances of winning my children back. We won. I'm back with my children with fully joint custody, and we even avoided going to court. Having a knowledgeable law firm represent you is the only way to go when everything matters. During the legal back-and-forth process, it was easy to tell that the level of effort, experience, and skill on the part of Drexler was far above the opposing counsel. I made the right decision in choosing Drexler Law Firm.- Mike -

How Colorado Law Impacts Your Family Law Case
Colorado law guides every aspect of a family law case, from how assets are divided to how child custody decisions are made. At Drexler Law, we explain state laws and important updates that impact families in Colorado Springs. For instance, Colorado statutes call for equitable—not always equal—division of property. In child-related matters, courts do not favor either parent but review who can best support the child, using specific legal factors. The state requires parenting classes and mediation in many cases, which can influence how your case moves forward. Local courts in El Paso County interpret some legal standards differently than other regions, and our attorneys adjust their approach to fit this context. We help you feel prepared and informed through every stage, drawing on up-to-date knowledge of the laws that apply to your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical divorce process take in Colorado Springs?
In the Fourth Judicial District, most divorce cases last at least 91 days after service, but timelines can vary depending on complexity and court schedules. An attorney can help you stay on track and avoid unnecessary delays.
Do I have to attend mediation for child custody disputes?
Colorado courts often require mediation for child custody disputes before a trial or hearing. Mediation allows both parties to work toward an agreement in a less formal environment and is standard in El Paso County.
What do courts consider when making decisions about child custody?
Colorado courts focus on the "best interests of the child," weighing factors like parental relationships, the child’s needs, and the ability to provide a consistent, safe environment. Judges also look at cooperation and any history of abuse or neglect.
