The First Steps to an uncontested Divorce in Colorado
To seek an uncontested divorce in Colorado, certain requirements must be met. Firstly, both you and your spouse should agree to dissolve the marriage. Secondly, you must have resided in Colorado for 90 days or more before filing. Additionally, a signed separation agreement that outlines key points such as the division of assets, child custody, and child support is necessary.
When both parties have legal representation, a court appearance typically isn’t necessary, and the decree of dissolution is issued without a hearing. However, if one or both parties don’t have an attorney, a short court appearance may be necessary, allowing the judge to officially grant the divorce.

How to get an uncontested divorce
When seeking an uncontested divorce, you have several options to negotiate a separation agreement. We can help you come to an agreement before filing for divorce. This allows you to include the separation agreement with your divorce paperwork, potentially expediting the proceedings. You can expect to receive your divorce decree approximately 91 days after submission. You also have the option of filing for divorce and then negotiate a separation agreement. This option can still avoid court but it could take a bit longer overall.
Mediation is another option. A third-party mediator can collaborate with you and your spouse to establish the details of the separation agreement, either before or after filing for divorce.
