Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this legal advice?

    No. LawGuides are informational only and do not constitute legal advice. Purchasing a guide does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need legal advice specific to your situation, please consult with a licensed Colorado attorney.

  • Is this guide specific to Colorado?

    Yes. Every guide is built specifically for Colorado courts, Colorado forms, and Colorado law. These guides are not appropriate for use in any other state.

  • How is this different from hiring an attorney?

    When you hire an attorney, you're paying for personalized legal representation and advice specific to your situation. LawGuides give you the knowledge and tools to handle a standard, uncontested case on your own at a fraction of the cost. If your situation requires personalized legal guidance, working with an attorney is the right call.

  • What if my case gets complicated?

    These guides are designed for straightforward, uncontested cases. If contested issues come up along the way, we recommend consulting with a Colorado family law attorney before moving forward.

  • How long does it take to complete?

    That depends on your situation and how quickly you move through the material. The guide is self-paced — you can work through it on your own timeline and return to any section as many times as you need. You'll have access for one year from the date of purchase, which is more than enough time for most uncontested cases to resolve.

  • What if I have questions the guide doesn't answer?

    The guides cover the standard steps for each process. If a question comes up that falls outside that scope, we recommend consulting with a licensed Colorado attorney before you file.

  • What if I'm not satisfied?

    Your investment is protected. If you don't find the guide valuable, let us know within 30 days, and we'll provide a full refund. No questions asked.

Our Guides Are Built for Straightforward Cases

LawGuides are designed for Colorado residents who are ready to handle their own family law matters and whose situations don't require court intervention. That means both parties are willing to cooperate, there are no contested issues, and you're comfortable following a step-by-step process on your own.

About the Creator





Lauren Lester is a Colorado attorney practicing family law and estate planning. After 10 years of family law work, she saw the same thing over and over: people struggling through the process not because their case was complicated, but because no one had given them the basic information they needed.

She believes people shouldn't have to cash out retirement or take on significant debt to navigate their own family law matter. That's why she created LawGuides — to give Coloradans a realistic, plain-language path through the court system without full legal representation.

Her goal is simple: help you move forward with confidence and control.

NOTE: No attorney-client relationship is created by purchasing a guide.
