Victoria Baxter: Your Advocate Through Family Law Challenges
When you’re navigating family law challenges, having the right advocate makes all the difference. Victoria brings both compassion and determination to every family law Colorado Springs case she handles. She knows when to negotiate and when to stand firm, focusing on minimizing conflict when possible while being ready to fight fiercely when necessary. With Victoria as your family law Colorado Springs attorney, you’re never alone in the process.
Think of Victoria as your legal bestie—accessible but not on-call 24/7. You can schedule a call anytime by sending an email. For uncontested clients, we'll have 3-4 scheduled check-ins to make sure you're on track and all your questions are answered. Most clients find this sufficient, but additional support is always available if needed.
Absolutely! Victoria is fierce, focused, and relentless in protecting her clients' interests. But here's the thing about bulldogs—the smart ones know when to bark and when to strategize. Unlike attorneys who thrive on creating unnecessary conflict (while padding their bills), Victoria fights smart, not dirty. She'll stand firmly for your rights without pouring gasoline on an already difficult situation.
Think of attorney-client privilege as your legal safe space. Anything you share privately with Victoria about your case stays completely confidential. This protection allows you to be fully honest about your situation, which helps Victoria build the strongest possible case. However, this privilege can be lost if you share these same details with others or on social media, potentially allowing your private conversations to be used against you in court.
An uncontested divorce is the express lane of divorce proceedings. When you and your spouse have already reached agreement on all issues—from parenting time to property division—this streamlined process can typically be completed in as little as 91 days. No court battles, no attorney showdowns, just a straightforward legal process to formalize your agreed-upon terms.
In Colorado family law, custody is formally called "allocation of parental responsibilities" or APR, which consists of two components. Decision-making responsibility determines who makes major decisions about education, healthcare, and religion. Parenting time establishes where the child lives and how time with each parent is scheduled. It is incredibly rare for one parent to be granted all parenting time in Colorado. Our Colorado family law expertise ensures your custody arrangements address both aspects appropriately.
Think of hiring Victoria for your uncontested divorce as bowling with bumpers—you still control the direction, but you're protected from costly gutter balls. Even when spouses agree, legal details matter. Victoria ensures all documents are accurate, comply with Colorado law, and protect your long-term interests. You might agree now, but life happens—let's make sure your agreement stands the test of time.
Divorce costs vary widely depending on the complexity and contentiousness of your case. Uncontested divorces are significantly more affordable, with fixed fees starting at $3,000. Contested divorces are billed hourly (typically $300/hour) with deposits starting at $2,500. What sets our family law Colorado Springs practice apart is transparency—you'll always know what you're paying for, with no surprise fees or hidden costs.
No, ethical rules prohibit one attorney from representing both parties in a divorce. However, Victoria can represent you while still keeping the process transparent and collaborative. With your permission, your spouse can attend meetings to stay informed. Victoria can also recommend trusted colleagues who can provide your spouse with independent legal advice if needed.
Colorado uses a formula based on both parents' incomes, parenting time, and children's needs to calculate child support. However, this formula doesn't account for all situations. Our family law Colorado Springs expertise helps ensure support calculations accurately reflect your family's circumstances, including special needs, extraordinary expenses, or unique earning situations.
Three things set Victoria apart: her trauma-informed approach, her tech-forward practice, and her commitment to transparent pricing. As a trauma-informed family law Colorado Springs attorney, Victoria creates a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and valued. Her virtual practice offers convenience and cost savings, while her transparent pricing eliminates financial surprises during an already stressful time.
Victoria brings seven years of dedicated experience supporting victims of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
