Karin Johnson Chatfield

At Karin Johnson Chatfield LLC, we understand the intricacies of family law and the importance of compassionate, conscientious, and ethical legal representation. As a dedicated and experienced Denver family lawyer, I have been serving the needs of Colorado clients for over three decades. My firm is built on a foundation of trust, responsiveness, and a deep commitment to achieving positive outcomes for parents and families navigating difficult legal circumstances.

I began my legal career in Oklahoma, practicing law for eight years before establishing my family law office in Denver in 1993. Throughout my more than three decades of legal experience, I have developed a profound understanding of Colorado family law and a commitment to providing high-quality, reliable legal services. My extensive knowledge and expertise have earned me a reputation as a trusted and responsive attorney who always puts the well-being of my clients and their families first.

As a compassionate and dedicated attorney, I understand that family law cases can be emotionally challenging and stressful. That's why I am committed to keeping my clients fully informed and apprised of case updates every step of the way. My office is dedicated to returning calls promptly and answering questions thoroughly, ensuring that my clients feel supported and confident throughout the legal process.

I am a problem solver, and I am prepared to provide hands-on assistance and personalized support to help you navigate even the most complex legal issues. Whether you are dealing with matters of adoption, custody, divorce, support payments, or premarital agreements, I am here to advocate for you and ensure that your rights and the best interests of your family are protected.

Services Offered

At Karin Johnson Chatfield LLC, I offer a comprehensive range of family law services designed to meet the unique needs of parents and families throughout Denver County and the surrounding areas. Some of the specific services I provide include:

Adoption

I am well-versed in the processes of domestic and international adoption, and I am dedicated to helping Denver parents who are ready to adopt navigate the legal aspects of this life-changing journey.

Custody

Whether you and your former partner are able to agree on dividing the parental responsibilities of child custody or you have different ideas about what type of arrangement would be best for your child, I will advocate for you. I handle cases where a parent's relocation may affect your parental bond, and I also assist clients who hope to establish guardianships and conservatorships for minors and incapacitated adults.

Divorce

Untangling marital assets can be the most frustrating aspect of a divorce or legal separation. I work diligently to obtain equitable property distribution solutions and handle all other aspects of dividing one home into two. I also assist clients seeking annulments based on fraud or other grounds.

Support Payments

Colorado calculates appropriate child support and spousal maintenance/alimony orders based on specific legal guidelines. The same guidelines are generally used for divorce settlements and separation agreements. I help my clients find and prepare the necessary documentation to facilitate fair arrangements and petition for enforcement actions when court-ordered payments are delinquent.

Premarital Agreements

Committed couples throughout Colorado use prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to set up safeguards for protecting their assets and defining the terms of their relationship. I assist clients in drafting and negotiating these important legal documents to ensure that they are fully protected and prepared for the future.
