A: A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could be difficult for an attorney to offer guidance without seeing the contract's terms about termination, cancellation, refunds, penalties, etc. You could reach out to local attorneys to review the contract, but in these settings, sometimes it could be cheaper to simply approach the other side and explain your difficult situation and ask if it's possible to negotiate reasonable terms for an amicable break. Every situation can be different, and how to proceed is your decision. But that could be an option to think about if you feel the office might be sympathetic to your situation. Good luck
