Military divorce questions
Every case is different. These are the questions Fort Collins clients ask most in the first call.
Can I file for divorce in Colorado if I’m stationed here?
Usually, yes. Colorado requires at least one spouse to have lived here 91 days before filing, and being stationed here can count.
Will my spouse get half my military retirement?
Not automatically. Colorado courts can divide retired pay earned during the marriage, and how much depends on the length of the marriage and service.
Can my divorce be delayed while I’m deployed?
Active-duty service members can ask the court to pause proceedings under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
Do you work with military families?
Yes. We work with service members and spouses at Buckley Space Force Base and installations across the Front Range.
