There is only one ground for divorcing in Colorado because it’s a no-fault divorce state. That ground is that a marriage has irretrievably broken down. Essentially, that means there’s no hope of reconciling. It also means that adultery or any other misconduct in the marriage is irrelevant for the purposes of stating the grounds for initiating a divorce case in Colorado.
This answer is case-specific. In general, however, divorce cases in Colorado tend to take longer to resolve when they involve:
- Allegations of criminal wrongdoing: This could include anything from fraud or to child abuse or domestic violence.
- High-net-worth couples: Couples who share extensive marital assets may need far more time to inventory, appraise, and work out the division of those assets, especially if there is no prenup.
- Multiple disputes: If exes are fighting about every issue in their case and compromise is not possible outside of a courtroom, a family judge will need to get involved to rule on each issue. This can mean multiple hearings sardined into the court’s already overloaded schedule, likely extending a divorce case.
This is another case-specific answer. The cost of divorce varies according to how long it takes, what disputes are involved, what’s at stake, and several other factors. It’s best to talk to a lawyer to get a clear answer about divorce costs and what you can do to keep them manageable.
