This website is designed for those who are considering a divorce, whether that be in the beginning stages of a dissolution of marriage or already in the middle of a divorce. Use the columns to filter: pick a Topic Group to see a whole subject area, use Stage to find what matters right now (thinking phase, before filing, during, after), and use Location to separate statewide law from the local court details that change how your case actually runs.

Colorado aims for a uniform approach: the law (grounds, property rules, the maintenance formula, the child support formula, the waiting period, parental-responsibility standards) is set at the state level and applies everywhere. Local logistics can vary, based upon which judicial district and courthouse hears your case. Pages are categorized so you know which kind of information you're reading.

This is educational information, NOT legal advice, and reading it does not make us your lawyers. Divorce decisions carry real, lasting financial and parenting consequences, and the facts of your specific situation matter enormously. Treat everything here as a head start that helps you ask better questions, not a substitute for talking with a Colorado family law attorney. Laws and local rules can change the information provided here, so verify the information before filing.
