Frequently asked questions
The shortest a divorce can take in Colorado is 91 days from the date the case is filed or the responding spouse is served. However, divorces involving disputes over children, finances, or property often take longer. You can schedule a free consultation and talk to our local Colorado family law team, who can explain the different timelines that might apply to your case.
Colorado courts allocate parental responsibilities based on the best interests of the child. Judges evaluate factors such as the child’s needs, each parent’s involvement, the ability of parents to cooperate, and whether each parent supports the child’s relationship with the other parent. See C.R.S. § 14-10-124.

The cost of a divorce varies depending on the complexity of the case and whether the parties agree on key issues. Uncontested divorces are generally less expensive than contested divorces involving disputes over property, parenting time, or support. You can learn more about the cost of a divorce attorney in Colorado by visiting our fees & costs page. You may also be interested in our calculators to help you determine the costs associated with your situation. However, for the best estimate on the cost of your case, we recommend speaking with one of our experienced Colorado divorce attorneys who is familiar with Colorado divorce laws and knows your local court rules. They can evaluate the specifics of your case and explain your options. At Modern Family Law, we understand the concerns you might have about the potential cost of your case. We want Colorado families to have access to quality legal support and now offer our SimpleStart™ reduced retainer program to help eligible clients afford representation.
Colorado courts divide marital property using equitable distribution. When spouses cannot reach an agreement, the court considers factors such as each spouse’s contributions to the marriage, economic circumstances, and the value of marital assets and debts. Learn more about how assets are divided in a Colorado divorce.
Colorado courts consider several factors, including the child’s relationship with each parent, the child’s adjustment to home and school, the mental and physical health of everyone involved, each parent’s ability to encourage a positive relationship with the other parent, and any history of domestic violence or safety concerns. Learn more about the factors considered in a Colorado custody decision.
Both divorce and legal separation allow spouses to divide property, address support, and resolve issues involving children. The key difference is that a divorce legally ends the marriage, while a legal separation allows spouses to remain legally married. Some couples choose legal separation for personal, financial, religious, or insurance-related reasons.
