What Are Unbundled Legal Services and How Can I Use Them in a Colorado Family Law Case?
When you’re facing a family law issue—like divorce, custody, or a child support dispute—you may not need full legal representation. In Colorado, unbundled legal services offer an affordable way to get help with specific parts of your case while keeping more control in your hands.
What Does “Unbundled” Mean?
“Unbundled” or “limited scope representation” means you hire a lawyer for just the parts of your case where you want help. Instead of paying for full start-to-finish representation, you get legal support for specific tasks like:
Drafting or reviewing court filings
Responding to discovery
Preparing for mediation
Coaching for court hearings
Clarifying your legal rights and options
You decide what help you need and when—giving you more flexibility and keeping costs manageable.
When Are Unbundled Legal Services a Good Fit?
Unbundled legal services can be a smart option if:
You’re representing yourself and just need some guidance
You have a cooperative or low-conflict case
You want to save money but still get professional legal advice
You feel comfortable handling some parts of your case on your own
They’re especially useful for clients who want to stay involved but don’t want to go it alone.
When Full Representation Might Be Better
Not every case is a good fit for unbundled help. If your case involves:
High conflict or domestic violence
Significant financial complexity
Ongoing litigation or emergency motions
Then full representation may offer better protection. At your consultation, we’ll help you decide what level of support makes sense.
