Divorce Videos

A Colorado divorce, legally called a dissolution of marriage, resolves a set of core issues: dividing marital property and debt, deciding whether spousal maintenance is appropriate, and, if you have children, working out parenting time and child support.

Colorado is a no-fault state, so the only ground the court requires is that the marriage is irretrievably broken; neither spouse has to prove wrongdoing. Every Colorado divorce is also subject to a mandatory 91-day waiting period that starts once the other spouse is served or the case is filed jointly, and that period cannot be waived even if you both agree on everything. Whether your case moves quickly or takes longer usually comes down to how much you and your spouse already agree on. An attorney can walk you through what your specific situation is likely to involve before you file.
