Divorce in Colorado: What You Need to Know

Divorce, at its most basic, is the legal action taken to end a marriage. Unlike in previous decades, divorce does not require a legal justification. Thanks to “no-fault” divorce laws, no single person must be “at-fault” for causing the divorce. Instead, anyone in a marriage is free to leave that marriage under the umbrella of “irreconcilable differences.”

The greatest difficulty in any divorce, even between the most cooperative spouses, is the assignment of property and custody. High-tension situations can arise out of deciding who gets what, especially when it comes to the following divorce-related issues:

  • Child Custody: Determining the custody arrangement for any children involved, including legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical custody (where the child lives).
  • Child Support: Establishing the financial support that one parent may owe to the other for the upbringing and care of their children. The amount is often based on state guidelines, considering factors like income and custody arrangements.
  • Alimony (Spousal Support): This involves determining whether one spouse is entitled to financial support from the other post-divorce. Factors such as the duration of the marriage, earning capacity, and financial need are considered.
  • Property Division: Dividing marital assets and debts acquired during the marriage. This can include real estate, savings accounts, retirement funds, vehicles, household items, and debts like mortgages or credit cards. Colorado follows the principle of equitable distribution, aiming for a fair but not necessarily equal split of assets and liabilities.
  • Legal Fees and Costs: Divorce proceedings can involve legal fees, court costs, and other expenses related to the process, which both parties might need to address.

Non-Combative, Mutually Beneficial Solutions

High-tension situations, especially between couples who have a history of conflict, can erupt into full-on litigation battles. Our Denver divorce attorneys avoid these situations to the best of our ability. Many of our lawyers are trained and certified mediators, and others have years of experience conducting negotiations between combative parties in complex financial and emotional circumstances.

We believe the best divorce agreements are written cooperatively, not begrudgingly. 

This is especially true for parents, as children are often the most harmed and traumatized by a painful divorce process.

The highest priority in The Harris Law Firm's approach is insulating children from the emotional wounds that come from a tense divorce. Many of our lawyers have gone through divorces, either as parents or as children. They are intimately familiar with the injuries a divorce can inflict on a family’s sense of well-being and togetherness, and they fight their hardest to facilitate peace in a cooperative environment.
