How long does it take to get a divorce in Colorado
The length of divorce is controlled by factors such as the type of divorce, the number of disagreements between spouses, mediation, etc.
However, Colorado has a 90-day mandatory waiting period before receiving a final judgment. In an uncontested divorce, the court can grant a decree immediately after the expiration of these 90 days since the couple has no disputes.
The dissolution can last from six to twelve months in a contested case. The longer the contested divorce is, the more expensive it will be.
Residency Requirements in CO
To file for divorce in Colorado, spouses must meet residency requirements. State law requires at least one spouse to have lived in Colorado for at least 90 days before filing. In addition, if the couple has minor children, the children must have lived in the state for at least 181 days.
The court may ask the spouses to provide proof to confirm their residence. Proof includes:
- a Colorado driver’s license with an issue date more than a year ago;
- Colorado voter’s registration;
- income and property tax receipts;
- auto insurance card; and
- testimony of witnesses.
If neither spouse meets the Colorado residency requirements, the partners should wait until the conditions are met. If they do not want to wait, they can file for divorce in another state where all the requirements for obtaining a divorce are met.
