Frequently Asked Questions

Can Same-Sex Couples Divorce in Colorado If Married in Another State?

Yes, Colorado courts can dissolve a marriage even if it was performed in another state, as long as one spouse meets Colorado residency requirements. The key factor is where you currently live, not where your marriage took place.

How Is Property Divided in a Same-Sex Divorce?

Colorado applies equitable division of marital property for all divorces, including same-sex marriages. The court considers assets, debts, contributions, and other relevant factors to reach a fair distribution, regardless of gender or how long you were married after legalization.

What If Children Were Born or Adopted Before Marriage Equality?

Colorado courts are committed to protecting children's best interests. If legal parentage or adoption paperwork is incomplete, additional steps may be needed to confirm parental rights and responsibilities, especially if both parents are not legally recognized on birth or adoption records.
