Getting a Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage) in Colorado

In Colorado, a party to a marriage can request a divorce if they believe that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.”  Colorado is not a state where a bad act must be proven before a divorce can be sought. If a party to a marriage believes that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and if one of the parties has resided in Colorado for over 90 days, the party can file a petition with the court to begin the process.

At times, if the parties agree and are both seeking the divorce, the parties can file the petition jointly to avoid some of the additional costs and fees associated with the divorce matter; however, whether one party files the petition or the parties file jointly, the parties are still adversaries, and the process is still the same. Nobody wins in a divorce case. The key is to move past and move forward to a life separate from the other party.

Each divorce case is different and must be handled in a way that focuses on the needs of the specific client. Some cases are simple and include minimal property and no children. These cases can be managed easily without too much cost to the client. On the other hand, some cases are extremely difficult. These cases usually involve long term marriages with children and substantial assets. These cases will result in months of stressful negotiations and sifting through mounds of paperwork in an attempt to get the best results. Additionally, the divorce and custody process can differ from county to county in Colorado. These differences, together with the intricacies of divorce cases make it important to seek a highly skilled and experienced divorce attorney.
