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.
