Cost shouldn't lock you into a marriage. Several avenues exist: file a motion to waive court fees (JDF 205) based on financial hardship; use the free JDF forms and the free official Colorado child support calculator instead of paid services; seek free legal help from Colorado Legal Services if you meet income guidelines; look into "unbundled" (limited-scope) help where an attorney handles just the parts you can't; and use the "decree without appearance" path if you reach a full agreement. Court self-help centers can explain the process for free. An uncontested, pro se divorce can be done for close to just the filing fees.
