Divorce

In order to obtain a Decree of Dissolution of Marriage in Colorado, either the Husband or the Wife must be a resident of the state for 90 days prior to filing for divorce.  After the filing of a divorce proceeding, Colorado law requires the parties to wait 90 days before they may obtain a Decree of Dissolution of Marriage.  Divorce cases are usually classified as either contested or non-contested. A contested divorce means that some or all of the issues, such as custody, parenting time, child support, and property division have not been agreed upon by the parties.  A non-contested divorce means that all issues have been agreed upon by the parties.
