Q: How Long Does Divorce Take?
In Colorado, there are many types of divorce. In an uncontested divorce, your proceedings may take as little as 91 days to process. Contested divorce may take longer. For Colorado to accept a filing for divorce, at least one spouse must be a Colorado resident for a minimum of three months; this may extend your process.
Q: Does Someone Need To Be At Fault?
No. Colorado is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you do not need to prove grounds for divorce. Fault can be considered, however, when it comes to determining certain financial matters in a case.
Q: Do I Have To Go To Court?
In some cases, you may be eligible to request a divorce without going before a judge. To learn more about this option, contact our office. In cases involving domestic abuse or other restraining orders, exceptions may also apply.
