Family Law Senior Associate Attorney

Senior Family Law Attorney

DTC / Greenwood Village, Fort Collins, or Colorado Springs
Full-Time | Hybrid Flexibility After Onboarding
Compensation: $135,000–$175,000+ base salary, plus bonus opportunity

Are you an experienced family law attorney who wants meaningful litigation work, autonomy, strong support, and a place where your skill and judgment will be respected?

Divorce Matters® is growing, and we are looking for a Senior Family Law Attorney to join our Colorado family law team. This is an opportunity for an attorney who already knows how to manage complex domestic relations cases, communicate confidently with clients, appear in court, develop case strategy, and move matters forward with professionalism and good judgment.

We are looking for someone who wants more than just another associate position. The right candidate will be trusted with meaningful responsibility, supported by strong paralegal and administrative systems, and given the opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of an established and respected family law firm.

About Divorce Matters®

Divorce Matters is a Colorado-based family law firm with offices in DTC/Greenwood Village, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. For more than 12 years, we have represented clients in divorce, custody, parenting time, child support, maintenance, property division, post-decree disputes, and other domestic relations matters.

Our reputation is built on integrity, compassion, tenacity, excellence, and outstanding client service. We are a high-performing family-law-only team, and we are looking for an experienced attorney who shares those values.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Family-law-only practice with an established Colorado presence
• Meaningful responsibility and significant client contact
• Autonomy with support — not micromanagement
• Strong paralegal and administrative support
• Experienced leadership available for strategy and collaboration
• Established systems, templates, and internal resources
• Competitive base compensation plus bonus opportunity
• Fully paid employee health insurance
• Paid holidays and flexible PTO
• Hybrid flexibility after onboarding and training
• Opportunity for leadership, mentorship, and long-term advancement
• Compensation structure may be adjusted for candidates with significant experience, referral relationships, or a portable book of business

What You Will Do

• Manage a family law caseload with a high degree of independence
• Represent clients in contested hearings, mediations, status conferences, and other court proceedings
• Develop litigation strategy and guide clients through complex family law disputes
• Draft and review pleadings, motions, correspondence, settlement documents, and trial materials
• Prepare clients for mediation, hearings, and contested litigation
• Work closely with paralegals, LLPs, attorneys, intake staff, and firm leadership
• Help mentor developing attorneys and contribute to a strong team culture
• Participate in consultations and help prospective clients feel confident in the firm
• Move cases forward efficiently while maintaining excellent client service
• Maintain a annual billable requirement of 1,600 hours

What We Are Looking For

• Colorado law license in good standing
• Approximately 5+ years of family law, domestic litigation, or substantial courtroom experience preferred
• Strong litigation, hearing, negotiation, and case-management skills
• Ability to manage complex and emotionally difficult client matters
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Strong professional judgment and follow-through
• Confidence advising clients and developing case strategy
• Ability to work independently while collaborating well with a team
• Client-service mindset and ability to build trust with clients
• Interest in leadership, mentorship, and long-term professional growth

Work Arrangement

This is a full-time position based in either our DTC/Greenwood Village office, Fort Collins office, or Colorado Springs office. The position is primarily in-office during onboarding and training. Hybrid flexibility may be available after approximately 90 days, depending on performance, training progress, and firm needs.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary ranges from $135,000 to $175,000+, depending on experience, litigation ability, family law background, case-management skill, referral relationships, portable business, and overall fit for the role. Bonus opportunity is also available and will be discussed during the interview process.

For highly qualified candidates with substantial family law experience, leadership ability, or a portable book of business, compensation structure is negotiable.

Divorce Matters provides:

• Fully paid employee health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Life insurance
• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Paid holidays
• Flexible PTO
• Bonus opportunities
• Mentorship and professional development
• Strong administrative and paralegal support

Who Should Apply

This role is a strong fit for an experienced family law attorney who wants autonomy, respect, strong support, and a real opportunity to grow within an established Colorado family law firm. We are looking for someone who can handle meaningful responsibility, serve clients well, support the team, and contribute to a high-performing culture.
