Colorado Information on Divorce.

I have spent well the last few weeks recapping a bit state to state on divorce information.  I have said any many blogs before, if you have a certain question on divorce in an area, please feel free to ask, I will do my best to research the area and have the divorce information to  you.  If you have any divorce or child support, alimony, etc...please start up a forum...one of the things I love doing in life is helping others, even if it is a hug or some information, the world needs a little more love.  I have seen so many family members go through hard times due to divorce and other issues, that I kind of set out to find information.  So that being a little bit of a reminder of me...lets move on to Colorado divorce.

Colorado divorce, is referred to as the dissolution of marriage.  As you know each state has its own way of handling divorce and what it is referred to.  In Colorado you must live in the state for at least 90 days before you can file for divorce.  This is a little more simple then other states.  You do not have to be in a county of the state also, just the state itself before filing for divorce.  Just like most states. Colorado divorce begins when one spouse files for divorce and then the papers are served and the other spouse is given a reasonable amount of time to respond...most the time this is about 30 days.  One of the easy things about divorce in Colorado, well some people will say, is it is a no fault based divorce system, this means that neither spouse can be blaming each other for this or that.  Now here is the tricky part of divorce in Colorado, is there not a tricky part in every state?  You can not get divorced IF...

1.  You can not receive a divorce in Colorado if your spouse is pregnant.  Unless you have been through extensive counseling and everything such as child support and child custody has been set.

2.  You can not receive a divorce in Colorado if both spouses do not agree.  See Colorado is a no fault based divorce, so if there is any dispute over the divorce, besides basic stuff like debt division and property division, most the time the divorce courts will not grant the divorce, but send both for counseling.

3. Now coming back into property division,such as land and house....materials can not be fought over in the divorce, all material has to be agreed upon in the divorce to receive it.

So the divorce process and be simple but also very tricky when it comes to Colorado.  If you have any more questions on Colorado divorce please ask.  I will probably recap a bit about the property division and alimony from state state on divorce issues.

She misspelled the our names on the paperwork I was served with does it still count.  Also I did not see anywhere on the paperwork where I could dispute the decree.  Thanks for pointing that out as I was only served on 9/12/08 and have time to look into this.  I have not told her that our names our wrong on the paperwork, do I have to?  Can I wait out the twenty days and then give her the HaHa?
