Getting a Divorce in Denver, Colorado

Divorce cases in Colorado are started with one party filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Parties can also file a Petition for Legal Separation, or a Petition for Allocation of Parental Rights (custody cases in which the parties are not married). All petitions can also be filed as co-petitions, which allow the parties to open a proceeding together and avoid certain court costs and costs of service. Parties must reside for before filing.

Understanding the Divorce Process

In terms of the laws governing divorce, Colorado is considered an equitable distribution state (as opposed to a community property state). As an equitable distribution state, Colorado does not have set rules as to how property acquired during the marriage must be divided. Rather, the Courts attempt to divide property as equitably as possible. In addition to the division of property, divorce law in Colorado also covers the award of child support (done with a child support calculator), alimony (also known as spousal support or maintenance), and the custody of children.

The divorce and custody process can vary from county to county, so it is important to have the assistance of experienced divorce counsel when filing for divorce.

Free Divorce Case Evaluation in Colorado

Our law firm offers a free case evaluation (by telephone), free of charge. This provides an opportunity for people facing a divorce, legal separation, or custody case to understand their options and what a roadmap to the successful resolution of their case might look like. It also provides an opportunity for our firm to understand the unique issues facing this person and whether we can help them with their case. From there, our firm would then schedule a longer, more in-depth paid consultation with one of our talented family attorneys.

					I truly enjoy working with Colorado Legal Group. Kristi and McKinley are great to work with. They are responsive to my needs, have a sense of urgency, and are professional and ethical. I always get the service and resolution I need in a very timely manner. They communicate effectively so I understand the process and I am able to weigh all my options to make an informed decision. Thank you for all that you have done for me and my family.

					Amazing representation! From start to finish, I was kept in the know, informed of even the most minuscule detail, and advised in a professional manner. Even as we became closer through talking, Joe maintained professionalism while handling information about the case. I never felt worry about his handling of my case, and when I had panicky moments he went out of his way to call and work through the issues with me. Honestly could not be happier with Joe and his staff. Thank you so much, you made the impossible possible.

					I certainly appreciate the time and effort that Kristi and Laura put into my case. Those two ladies, along with the rest of their team, got my somewhat complicated divorce through in record time. If it wasn't for their expertise, I would have been completely lost.
