Common questions

Every case is different. These are the questions Denver clients ask most in the first call.

How long does a divorce take in Colorado?

Colorado has a 91-day waiting period after the court has jurisdiction over both spouses, so no divorce finalizes faster than that. Uncontested cases often wrap up a few months later; contested cases with custody or property disputes take longer.

Where will my Denver divorce be filed?

If you or your spouse live in Denver, the case is usually filed in Denver District Court. We also handle cases in Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, and Douglas counties.

Do I have to prove my spouse did something wrong?

No. Colorado is a no-fault state. The court only needs to find that the marriage is irretrievably broken.

What if I was just served divorce papers?

You have a limited time to respond, and early decisions can affect custody and finances later. Call us before you sign anything or agree to temporary arrangements.

How much will my divorce cost?

It depends mostly on how much you and your spouse disagree. Your attorney will walk you through fees and options in your first meeting so there are no surprises.
