If you and your spouse have decided it is time to call it quits, filing a divorce petition is the first step to end your marriage. Colorado is a “no-fault divorce” state. This means that one spouse or the other need only allege to a court that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” But the divorce process itself may take a considerable amount of time to complete.
No two divorces in Colorado are the same. The actual time that it takes to complete a divorce will depend on the specifics of the case. The courts will grant a divorce no earlier than 90 days after the filing of the initial petition. If Bob files for divorce from Jane on August 1, 2017, the earliest date that a court will grant a divorce would be in late October/early November, 2017.
Some divorces are within a matter of months. Other divorces involving many contested issues or large amounts of valuable assets can take years.
