✈️ The Harris Law Firm was proud to sponsor the 2026 Pikes Peak Regional Airshow last month, hosted by The Sports Corp and the National Museum of World War II Aviation! This biannual event brings aviation enthusiasts, families, and communities from across Colorado together for an unforgettable weekend.

Held at the Colorado Springs Airport, the event featured incredible aerial performances, historic warbirds, and impressive military aircraft. There were approximately 30,000 spectators.

As a Colorado-based law firm, we value opportunities to connect with communities throughout our state and support events that bring people together. We were excited to be part of an event that also supports the Peterson Air and Space Museum and the National Museum of World War II Aviation.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event possible. We were proud to be part of it!

The Harris Law Firm was glad to be part of Aging Matters Live: Caring for the Caregivers Fair, hosted by Colorado Public Radio at the Highlands Ranch Senior Center.

The event brought caregivers, experts, and local organizations together to talk about the realities of caring for older adults and connect families with resources that can help along the way.

Estate planning plays an important role in that process. Through wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other planning documents, The Harris Law Firm helps individuals and families prepare for future financial, healthcare, and estate decisions before those decisions become urgent.

Thank you to Colorado Public Radio for bringing attention to the needs of caregivers and creating a space for families to learn about the resources available to them.

⚖️ Does 50/50 parenting time mean neither parent pays child support in Colorado? Not necessarily! Here are 3 things you need to know. ⬇️

1️⃣ Parenting Time: Equal parenting time doesn't automatically eliminate child support. It's only one factor courts consider.
2️⃣ Parental Income: Even with a 50/50 custody arrangement, one parent may still owe child support based on differences in income.
3️⃣ Additional Expenses: Health insurance, extraordinary medical expenses, and certain private school costs may also affect child support calculations.

📍 In Colorado, child support depends on more than just how much time each parent spends with their child.

📞 Have questions about child support or parenting time? Contact The Harris Law Firm at (888) 574-6043 to schedule a consultation today.

The Harris Law Firm was proud to sponsor the Colorado Lawyers Committee Awards Luncheon, celebrating the attorneys, volunteers, and organizations making a meaningful difference in Colorado communities. ⚖️

The event recognized outstanding contributions to pro bono legal services and efforts to expand access to justice across Colorado.

Representing The Harris Law Firm, Steve Cizik, Peter Goldstein, and Erika Carter attended the luncheon. Rich Harris also had the opportunity to speak about an initiative he has been working on to encourage attorneys to volunteer their time on pro bono cases focused on protecting children in domestic violence cases in Denver.

We are grateful to the Colorado Lawyers Committee for bringing the legal community together and recognizing those committed to serving others. It was an honor to support this event and the important work being done throughout our community!

When it comes to estate planning, your beneficiary designation will generally take priority over your will. Here are 3 reasons why:

1️⃣ Avoids Probate: Assets with valid beneficiary designations typically transfer directly to the named beneficiaries without going through probate.
2️⃣ Will Limitations: A will generally controls assets that pass through the probate process, not those with designated beneficiaries.
3️⃣ Account Agreements: Beneficiary designations are typically governed by agreements with financial institutions and can take precedence over instructions in your will.

Understanding how wills and beneficiary designations work together can help prevent estate planning mistakes and ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

Emergency Protection Orders in Colorado: What You Need to Know ⚖️🛡️

When domestic violence, stalking, or harassment puts someone’s safety at risk, an emergency protection order (EPO) may provide immediate legal protection. Here’s what Coloradans should know ⬇️

1️⃣ Understand What an EPO Does
• Restricts contact, threats, and harassment
• May require someone to leave a shared home
• Can provide temporary protections for children and pets

2️⃣ Know When an EPO May Be Available
• Addresses urgent threats to personal safety
• May involve domestic abuse, stalking, or sexual violence
• Law enforcement can request an EPO when courts are closed

3️⃣ Gather Supporting Evidence
• Collect police reports and medical records
• Save relevant messages and communications
• Identify witnesses who can support your account

4️⃣ Understand How Long an EPO Lasts
• Provides immediate, short-term protection
• Generally expires at the close of the next judicial business day
• May be continued by the court in limited circumstances

5️⃣ Explore Other Protection Orders
• Temporary civil orders may provide additional protection
• Permanent orders require a court hearing
• Criminal cases may involve mandatory protection orders

6️⃣ Take Violations Seriously
• Violations can result in arrest or other penalties
• Report suspected violations to law enforcement
• Document incidents when safe to do so

🏁 Final Takeaway

Emergency protection orders can provide immediate safety during dangerous situations. Understanding the legal process, gathering evidence, and knowing your options for continued protection can help you take the next steps toward safety.

At The Harris Law Firm, our Colorado family law attorneys help individuals navigate domestic violence protection orders and related legal matters.

“Steve Cizik and Victoria Mall are by far the best legal team around. They helped me with two major business-related tax issues over the last decade and literally saved me over $100k. Their knowledge of tax law is impressive, as they had to educate the latest revenue officer assigned to my case on a handful of matters. Again, they are the best!!” 💬
