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.

Is LawGuides Right for You?

LawGuides are designed for Colorado residents who are ready to handle their own family law matter and whose situation follows the standard court process. You don't have to agree on everything before you start, but the process works best when both parties are willing to cooperate and resolve things without court intervention.

Your Investment is Protected

Our step-by-step guides are designed to help you avoid frustration and reduce risk as you navigate a complex court system. If you do not find the guide valuable, however, let us know within 30 days, and we will provide a full refund. No questions asked.

About the Creator

Lauren Lester is a Colorado attorney practicing family law and estate planning. After 10 years of handling divorce and custody cases, 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 their retirement accounts or take on significant debt to navigate their own family law matters. 

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.

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

A Note Before You Get Started

LawGuides are informational resources created by a licensed Colorado attorney. They are designed to help you understand the court process and complete standard forms and procedures on your own.

Purchasing a guide does not create an attorney-client relationship, and nothing in any guide constitutes legal advice. LawGuides and its creating attorney are not your lawyers.

These guides are designed for straightforward, uncontested cases following standard Colorado court procedures. If your situation involves contested issues, domestic violence, significant assets, or anything that falls outside the ordinary process, a guide may not be sufficient for your needs.

When in doubt, consult with a licensed Colorado attorney.
