Colorado
Divorce
These statutes are the
property of Colorado, we only provide them as a courtesy. This is
not meant to replace legal advice. Colorado has state mandated forms
which must be used to file all family law cases.
We use the state mandated
forms for all packages so you are assured to get exactly the forms
you need.
RESIDENCY:
Either the Petitioner
or respondent must have been a resident of Colorado for 90 days
prior to filing for divorce. The divorce will be filed in either
the county where the petitioner resides or the respondent resides.
GROUNDS FOR DISSOLUTION
OF MARRIAGE:
No-Fault: Irretrievable
breakdown of the marriage is the only grounds for dissolution of
marriage in Colorado.
LEGAL
SEPARATION:
If the parties agree
that there has been a breakdown of the marriage, they may file for
a legal separation in either county.
SIMPLIFIED DISSOLUTION
OF MARRIAGE:
Colorado does have a
simplified divorce if both paries agree and there are no minor children.
Specific forms must be used to obtain a simplified divorce in Colorado.
PROPERTY
DISTRIBUTION:
The property of the marriage
will be divided using equitible distribution. Colorado allows the
use of Marital Settlement Agreements which outlines the division
of property and debts.
CHILD
ISSUES
Child custody
can be awarded as joint custody or sole custody. Parties will need
to have a Parenting Plan in which both parties agree to the custody.
Colorado
has state child support guidelines that are used to calculate child
support.
