    The Automatic Injunction in a Colorado Divorce: What You Need to Know

    Filing for divorce can bring both relief and anxiety—and once the petition is filed, important legal rules immediately go into effect. In this short Divorce at Altitude lesson, Ryan Kalamaya explains the automatic injunction in a Colorado divorce, what it means, and why it matters.

    Ryan walks through when the automatic injunction begins, how it preserves the status quo, and the most common mistakes people make after filing. From transferring property to traveling with children or changing insurance coverage, this episode highlights the actions that can create serious legal consequences if handled incorrectly.

    Why Colorado law requires preservation of the status quo and what courts are trying to prevent during divorce.

    Restrictions on Marital Property

    What parties cannot do with marital assets, including transferring, concealing, encumbering, or disposing of property without consent.

    Understanding the two key exceptions—ordinary course of business and necessities of life—and where people often cross the line.

    Prohibition on Harassment or Disturbing the Peace

    How the injunction governs behavior between spouses and why context matters.

    Travel Restrictions With Children

    Why children cannot be taken out of state without agreement or court order, and how this affects vacations and school breaks.

  • Child Custody Issues Across State Borders, with Brian Walters | Episode 6

    Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA): Interstate Custody Issues Explained

    Interstate child custody disputes can become legally complex when parents live, travel, or relocate across state lines. In this episode of Divorce at Altitude, Ryan Kalamaya is joined by Texas family law attorney Brian Walters to explain how the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) determines which state has authority to decide custody issues.

    Ryan and Brian walk through real-world scenarios involving relocation, second homes, temporary moves, and multi-state families. They explain how courts determine a child’s “home state,” how judges communicate across state lines, and how custody orders are enforced or modified when families move. This episode is essential listening for parents, attorneys, and professionals navigating interstate custody disputes in Colorado, Texas, and beyond.

    Guest Information:

    Brian Walters is a Texas family law attorney and partner at Walters Gilbreath, one of the largest family law firms in Texas, with offices in Houston, Dallas, and Austin. He is also the host of the Texas Family Law Podcast. Brian regularly handles complex divorce and custody cases involving interstate jurisdiction, relocation disputes, and enforcement of out-of-state custody orders under the UCCJEA.

    Episode Outline

    What Is the UCCJEA and Why It Exists

    An overview of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, why it was adopted nationwide, and how it prevents competing custody orders across state lines.

    Divorce Jurisdiction vs. Custody Jurisdiction

    Why divorce filings and child custody jurisdiction are governed by different legal standards—and how a court can have authority over one but not the other.

    Determining the Child’s “Home State”

    How courts decide which state has jurisdiction based on where a child has lived during the previous six months, and why short-term relocations typically do not shift jurisdiction.

    Temporary Moves, Second Homes, and COVID-Era Relocations

    How extended stays, seasonal residences, and pandemic-related moves complicate custody jurisdiction analysis.

    When Courts in Different States Communicate

    How judges conduct interstate conference calls to resolve jurisdiction disputes and why these conversations are consistent across UCCJEA states.

  • What Do Lawyers Think About Before Their Client Files For Divorce? | Episode 5

  • Top 7 FAQs for Divorce Consultations | Episode 4

    What to Expect in Your First Divorce Consultation in Colorado

    The first meeting with a divorce attorney is often a “triage” moment—especially when everything feels uncertain. In this episode of Divorce at Altitude, co-hosts Ryan Kalamaya and Amy Goscha walk through the most common questions clients ask during an initial consultation, using the hypothetical divorce of Eric and Melanie Wolf as the framework.

    Ryan and Amy discuss what matters (and what doesn’t) in a Colorado divorce, including whether fault is relevant, who should file first, how parenting plans are determined, and when dating becomes a problem. They also explain key early issues like moving out of the marital home, how property division is analyzed when there’s a business or major assets, and what to expect with spousal maintenance—so listeners can leave that first meeting with clarity, direction, and realistic expectations.

    Episode Outline

    Does the Reason for Divorce Matter?
    Why Colorado is a no-fault state, how “marital waste” can come into play, and when conduct matters most (especially involving children).

    Does It Matter Who Files First?
    When filing first can matter procedurally, when it doesn’t, and how the tone of filing can influence the trajectory of the case.

    How Parenting Plans Are Decided in Colorado
    A breakdown of parenting time and decision-making, the “best interests” factors, and the modern trend toward shared parenting responsibilities.

    When Can I Start Dating?
    Why dating isn’t prohibited but can become a major complication, including risks involving money, discretion, and introducing new partners to children.

    How Property Division Works
    How Colorado distinguishes marital vs. separate property, why title alone doesn’t control, and how businesses and complex assets change the analysis.

    Should I Move Out of the House?
    Key factors that drive this decision, including finances, safety concerns, parenting dynamics, and practical interim options.

    Spousal Maintenance Basics
    How courts look at need and ability to pay, why property division comes first, and why high-income cases require a different analysis than guideline cases.

    What Clients Should Take Away from the First Meeting
    How the initial consultation should reduce fear, clarify next steps, and help clients define priorities and set reasonable expectations.

    Using common divorce scenarios, they explain what courts look for when evaluating validity, including financial disclosures, voluntariness, timing, and negotiation history.

    Guest Information

    James Bailey is a Denver-based family law attorney and shareholder at SVC Law Firm. He clerked for former Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Luis Rovira and is widely recognized for his work on marital and premarital agreements.

    Challenging the Validity of an Agreement
    What happens procedurally when one party seeks to set aside a premarital agreement, including bifurcated validity hearings.

    Why attorney billing records, drafts, and negotiation history matter—and how they can support or undermine claims of duress or coercion.

    Witnesses, Notaries, and Business Practices
    How testimony from notaries, attorneys, and witnesses is evaluated when memories have faded over time.

    Experts and Consultants in Prenup Litigation
    When consultants and expert witnesses are used, how privilege is preserved, and why courts may limit expert testimony on legal issues.

    Choice-of-Law and Multi-State Issues

  • Prenuptial Agreements | Episode 2

    In this episode of Divorce at Altitude, Colorado family law attorneys Ryan Kalamaya and Amy Goscha explain prenuptial agreements in a clear, practical way. They cover what a Colorado prenuptial agreement is, what it can address (property, finances, spousal maintenance, and certain death related provisions), and what it cannot control, including child support, parenting time, and decision-making for children.

    Ryan shares the history of prenups and why they continue to matter today, from protecting children of prior relationships to helping couples define financial expectations before marriage. Amy outlines the key legal requirements for a valid premarital agreement in Colorado, including that it must be in writing, signed by both parties, entered into voluntarily, and supported by full and fair financial disclosure.

    They also discuss modern trends, including why younger couples, business owners, and people entering second or third marriages are increasingly choosing prenups.
