family law Dena Silliman Nielson, P.C., Attorney at Law counsels and represents clients from Denver, Colorado and nearby communities in a variety of general family law matters, including:

  • Parenting Time Agreements
  • Interstate Custody Negotiations
  • Step-Parent Adoption
  • Guardianships

Parenting time and interstate custody negotiations:

Usually part of a dissolution agreement, legal issues regarding parenting time (child custody, child visitation) can also arise outside of marriage, or as part of a post-decree modification following a divorce. Many attorneys work on child custody and child visitation cases, but few are willing to tackle interstate custody issues as skillfully and confidently as she can.

Dena is familiar with the guidelines and provisions of the UCCJEA (The 1997 Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act). Interstate child custody cases involve federal law, so it is to the benefit of her clients that she is experienced in federal court litigation.

Colorado guardianship:

Guardianship matters usually involve minors, though not always. This may come up in families when, a grandparent needs a guardianship over a granddaughter she is raising. Dena can help arrange your guardianship smoothly, with care and sensitivity to cultural and family interests.
