Common questions

Every case is different. These are the questions Boulder 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 Boulder divorce be filed?

If you or your spouse live in Boulder County, the case is usually filed in Boulder County District Court. We also handle cases in Broomfield, Weld, and Jefferson 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.
