Colorado allows you to complete your divorce without an attorney if you and your spouse can come to an agreement on what to do with your property and how you will care for any children that you may have.
Colorado Residency Requirements
One of the spouses must have lived in Colorado for 90 days before a divorce can be filed here.
Grounds For Divorce
An irretrievable breakdown of the marriage is the only grounds for divorce in Colorado.
Filing Your Colorado Divorce
It takes 90 days to finalize the divorce once you start the process. The steps for filing a Colorado divorce (also called a "dissolution") are as follows:
- Complete the online interview.
- Both spouses sign the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, and then one spouse files it with the Clerk of Courts.
- The Court will send you a Case Management Order or similiar document, after which time both spouses sign the Decree of Dissolution (and supporting documents), and one spouse files them with the Court.
- Wait ninety (90) days to receive your Decree of Dissoulution signed by the Judge.
(Colorado couples with children are required to attend a parenting class as well as a brief final hearing.)
Division of property & debt, child parenting plan (including child support, visitation and custody), spousal support, and more are covered.
