Overview - Colorado Divorce Attorneys

(Continued from Page 1)

A divorce (dissolution of marriage) can be a lengthy and complex process in Colorado. Client concerns can often be alleviated with an understanding of the basic timeline of a Colorado case:

• Hiring Colorado divorce attorneys is crucial to obtaining the most successful outcome.
• Your attorneys will file a Petition for Dissolution (divorce). The Petition states that a Colorado divorce is being sought.
• The divorce Petition is served on the opposing party.
• The opposing party then has a chance to respond to the Petition.
• There is a minimum 90-day waiting period between the service of a Colorado Petition on the Opposing Party and when a Divorce Decree can be granted.
• After the any response, if issues are in dispute, the divorce parties might be required go to mediation, etc.
• If the parties can agree on issues, then the lawyers may file a Separation Agreement, which details proposed terms of the divorce.
• If the Separation Agreement is not approved by the Court, or if the parties cannot settle their disputes, the case will proceed to trial.
• At a divorce trial, the attorneys represents the interests of their client and presents evidence to support their claims. A judge will rule on the disputes and grant the divorce.

The divorce process can be as quick as several months, or as lengthy as several years depending on the complexity of the issues and the ability of the parties to cooperate. The more parties are willing to negotiate and compromise, the faster a divorce can proceed.
