Colorado Divorce Laws
Skip to...(14-10-106)
Colorado is a "no fault" divorce state. "Irretrievable breakdown of marriage" is the only ground for divorce under Colorado laws.
(14-10-106)
Colorado laws require at least one spouse to be a resident of the state of Colorado for at least ninety (90) days before filing the divorce papers.
The divorce papers may be filed in the county where the respondent resides or in the county where the petitioner resides if the respondent has been served in the same county or if the respondent is not a resident of Colorado.
(14-10-120.3)
Final orders in a proceeding for dissolution of marriage may be entered upon the affidavit of either or both parties when:1. There are no minor children of the husband and wife and the wife is not pregnant; or the husband and wife are both represented by counsel and have entered into a separation agreement that provides for the allocation of parental responsibilities and child support for the children;
2. The adverse party is served with the divorce papers;
3. There is no genuine issue as to any material fact; and
4. There is no marital property to be divided or the parties have entered into an agreement for the division of their marital property.Learn more about the divorce procedure.
