Where can I find additional information about divorce?

The Colorado Judiciary has a lot of material on the divorce process, including:

  • a pamphlet on divorce and related family law matters that describes residency requirements;
  • the forms you may need if you wish to file for divorce if there are no children;
  • the forms you may need if you wish to file for divorce if there are children;
  • instructions and forms to convert a legal separation to divorce; and
  • instructions and forms to file for spousal support (called “maintenance” in Colorado).

WomensLaw.org is unrelated to the above organizations and cannot vouch for the accuracy of their sites. These links are informational resources only.

You will find more information about divorce, including the risks of taking your children out of state while a divorce is pending, on our general Divorce page. To watch brief videos about divorce in Spanish with English sub-titles, go to our Videos page. Lastly, learn more about the court process on our Preparing for Court – By Yourself page.
