What Is The Process For Getting Divorced When Children Are Involved In Colorado?

The process for getting a divorce in Colorado when you have children is exactly the same as the process if you didn’t have children. You will have to file a petition for dissolution of marriage and all the necessary paperwork in the county where you reside.

The court will then accept the paperwork, require financial disclosures, require a parenting after divorce class. The court will require mediation of the issues and hopefully trying to get the parties to resolve the disputes through mediation.

 If a resolution can’t be reached then permanent orders hearing is set which is a final trial before the court where the court will make a decision on the parenting time with your children, the assets, the debts, the maintenance, child support and every other issue.
