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. If you are going through a divorce or have questions about a divorce, we would be happy to talk to you here at Miller & Steiert.
