Colorado Divorce Lawyer

Guiding Clients Through The Divorce Process in Colorado

Ending a marriage can be a difficult and emotional experience. Parties must come to an agreement on how to divide assets and property, who will receive spousal maintenance, and more. If children are involved, additional complicated issues arise regarding the children, including which parent will receive custody of the children, who will pay child support, and other matters concerning their well-being.

Types of Divorce in Colorado

A Colorado divorce lawyer at Cantafio & Song PLLC will be able to thoroughly review your specific situation and needs, advise you of the legal options and resources available to you, and help you determine the best course of action to pursue. 

• Collaborative Divorce – A collaborative divorce is perfect for those couples who are willing and able to collaborate, with each other and their attorneys, to determine the family needs and how to get through the divorce in a healthy and productive manner. Our attorneys will work with you closely to resolve all outstanding issues and ensure all agreements are finalized before divorce papers are filed with the court.
• Legal Separations – A legal separation allows a couple the time they may need to either resolve their marital issues or come to a final decision to legally dissolve their marriage. During this time, the couple can request to separate their financial responsibilities and marital property.
• Annulments – Filing for a marriage annulment is completely different than filing for a dissolution of marriage. In the state of Colorado, specific criteria must be met in order to annul a marriage. One of our Colorado divorce attorneys will be able to answer your annulment questions and help you determine if an annulment best suits your needs.
• Military Divorce – Service men and women have unique lifestyles and concerns. Although military divorces can be just as difficult and emotionally challenging as a civilian divorce, certain special circumstances must be taken into account when one spouse is a military member, especially if he or she is on active duty or stationed overseas.

Is Colorado a No-Fault Divorce State?

Although Colorado is both an equitable distribution state and a no-fault state when it comes to divorce, we strongly advise that you consult with an experienced Colorado divorce attorney before you begin divorce proceedings.

A "no-fault" divorce indicates that neither party is required to prove fault, blame, or wrongdoing on the other party's part to obtain a divorce. In other words, neither spouse has to prove the other is responsible for the breakdown of the marriage in order to move forward with filing for divorce. Rather, the grounds for a divorce in Colorado are dependent on the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage or the parties have lived apart for a period of time specified by law.

With a no-fault divorce in Colorado, the court will not consider fault or misconduct when dividing marital property or awarding alimony (spousal support). As a result of Colorado's equitable distribution principle for property division, marital property is divided fairly between spouses but not necessarily equally. A spouse may be awarded alimony based on factors such as financial resources, contributions to the marriage, and the length of their marriage.
