Is Colorado a No-Fault State When It Comes to Divorce?

Yes. Colorado is a no-fault state when it comes to the grounds for divorce. This means that the Court will not consider either spouse’s misconduct when granting the divorce or awarding property or support. The only recognized legal basis for divorce in the state of Colorado is the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. From a practical standpoint, this basis can be established by one of the parties making this assertion. It is not possible to oppose the eventual grant of a divorce by the Colorado Courts once a party has indicated, through pleadings, that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
