When we enter into a marriage, we rarely think about how the marriage will end. However, once we know that the marriage is ending, we have a choice about how to proceed. When we proceed with a litigated divorce, we are choosing a process that is geared towards conflict, it is not focused on allowing parties to participate in the resolution process.
People who need to get divorced often think they have only two options: an amicable "mediated" divorce or a hotly contested litigation battle. In reality, all courts in Colorado require every party to a divorce or other family law case, even the most combative ones, to attend mediation at least once after a case is filed.
The team at Wells Family law has substantial experience dealing with large marital estates and high-earning spouses. The high asset or high income divorce may present complex issues. For example, executives may have vested and unvested stock options, bonus income, restricted stock, or nonqualified deferred compensation awards to take into consideration in addition to normal retirement and pension assets.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation, or "executive compensation, " is a cornerstone of wealth for many executives. Executive compensation may include options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, phantom stock and stock appreciation rights.
The purpose of executive compensation is to allow executives to defer tax liability, and to provide an incentive for performance by providing the executive with an equity stake or a link to stock performance in the company.

Report
Chelsea was absolutely amazing. I was almost 18 months into a contentious divorce with about 1 week to go until court. I switched forms and hired Chelsea Augelli at Wells Family Law and wow. She handled the opposing counsel flawlessly. She was tough, got what I needed, but was realistic and did not waste one penny of my money. I have dealt with attorney's both personally and in business and this is the first time I can honestly say that. I highly recommend Chelsea.
