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.
