Talk to a Colorado family law attorney before you file, ideally before you even tell your spouse. However, "we agree on everything" divorces hide traps around retirement, maintenance, taxes, and parenting plan specifics.

Many Colorado attorneys offer a low-cost or free initial consultation. A consultation tells you your realistic rights and exposure under Colorado law and helps you avoid early missteps that are hard to undo.

Even couples that agree routinely miss issues only a professional can spot (how to divide a 401(k) without taxes and penalties, how the advisory maintenance formula applies to your incomes, who claims the kids on taxes, etc.). Bring the basics to a consultation: date of marriage, date of separation, a rough budget, and income for both spouses. If cost is a barrier, look into unbundled (limited-scope) help and the Colorado Bar Association's resources.
