Lowenberg Family Law · LLP Services
Practical family-law guidance from a Colorado Licensed Legal Paraprofessional.
With more than eight years of family-law, legal case-management, and client-advocacy experience, Tara E. Delaney, LLP, provides direct services in authorized family-law matters as part of Lowenberg Family Law’s team-based practice.
A steady guide through family-law decisions.
Licensed by the Colorado Supreme Court in January 2025, Tara serves clients in the greater Montrose area and Western Slope as well as Northern Colorado, including Larimer and Weld Counties. Her work is guided by current Colorado LLP rules and the practical needs of each family-law matter.
Her experience includes divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting-time matters, child support, legal separation, and post-decree modifications. Tara emphasizes clear communication, thoughtful preparation, practical solutions, and steady progress toward resolution.
Experience built around the work a case requires.
Tara has worked with family-law clients from the first conversation through resolution. She has conducted consultations, managed matters from intake forward, prepared pleadings and other legal documents, negotiated settlements, and appeared in court in proceedings authorized for LLP representation.
Before becoming an LLP, Tara spent several years as a senior family-law paralegal and law-office manager. That work included preparing pleadings and discovery, coordinating trial preparation, managing deadlines, and working closely with clients, attorneys, courts, and other professionals.
She also has substantial historical experience supporting matters involving children and families in dependency-and-neglect proceedings; that background is distinct from her current LLP services. Tara earned a B.A. in Political Science from Villanova University, with minors in Spanish and Psychology, and is affiliated with the Colorado Bar Association’s Family Law Section and Colorado LLP Committee.
The case should determine the team.
Tara’s work is part of a team-based Lowenberg Family Law practice. Some questions fit within an LLP’s authorized services. Others may call for attorney involvement from the outset or alongside LLP representation. The goal is not to force a matter into a label; it is to match the facts with the right professional attention.
A direct conversation can help identify the practical question, the documents or orders already in place, and whether an LLP, an attorney, or a coordinated approach is the appropriate place to begin.

Questions people ask
Questions about LLP services and representation.
How does Colorado’s LLP authorization work?
A Colorado Licensed Legal Paraprofessional, or LLP, is licensed by the Colorado Supreme Court to provide specified family-law services under current Colorado rules. The permitted services, exclusions, and professional disclosures are defined by C.R.C.P. 207.1 and related current guidance. Whether a particular matter fits the authorization depends on the issue, the facts, and the professional arrangement.
Can Tara E. Delaney, LLP, represent a client in court?
Within an authorized family-law matter and the LLP’s current authorization, Colorado rules permit LLPs to prepare and file authorized court documents, assist in mediation, and represent clients at authorized hearings. The facts of the case and the current rule still matter. A public page cannot determine whether a particular hearing or issue is within scope.
What family-law matters may fit LLP services?
Colorado’s LLP framework covers specified family-law matters, which can include dissolution or legal separation, particular parental-responsibilities or parentage matters, support or maintenance work, protection orders, and other services identified in C.R.C.P. 207.1. The rule also contains exclusions, so the right question is whether the particular issue fits the current authorization and the needs of the case.
When may attorney involvement be appropriate?
Attorney involvement may be appropriate when an issue falls outside LLP authority, calls for legal analysis beyond the LLP’s current competence or authorized scope, or otherwise requires attorney advice. Colorado’s rules allow a client to work with an attorney on an out-of-scope issue while an LLP continues with authorized work. The appropriate arrangement depends on the matter.
Does Tara’s prior dependency-and-neglect support work mean she independently handles those matters as an LLP?
No. Tara’s prior work supporting matters involving children and families in dependency-and-neglect proceedings is part of her professional background. It is distinct from her current independent LLP services, which are limited to the family-law matters authorized by current Colorado LLP rules.
Where does Tara serve clients?
Tara is based in Fort Collins and serves clients in the greater Montrose area and Western Slope, as well as Northern Colorado, including Larimer and Weld Counties, through Lowenberg Family Law’s team-based practice. The firm’s physical office is in Montrose; a service area or professional base is not a separate Lowenberg Legal office.
