Divorce Attorneys in Colorado

Going through a divorce in Colorado is one of the most emotionally and financially challenging experiences a person can face. Whether your divorce is amicable or contested, the decisions made during this process — about property, finances, and children — will shape your life for years to come. At Lindstrom Law, our family law attorneys are committed to guiding you through every step with clarity, compassion, and aggressive advocacy when it matters most.

Colorado Springs is a close-knit Front Range community, and the stakes of getting your divorce right — from protecting your share of the marital estate to securing a fair parenting arrangement — are deeply personal. Don't face this alone.

Colorado Divorce Law: What You Need to Know

Colorado is a no-fault divorce state, meaning neither spouse needs to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce. The legal term is "dissolution of marriage," and the process requires at least one spouse to have lived in Colorado for 91 days before filing. Cases in Colorado are handled by the court in the county where the filing occurs, and timelines vary based on complexity and whether both parties agree on key issues.

Key issues addressed in a Colorado divorce include:

Division of marital property and debts — Colorado follows equitable distribution, meaning assets are divided fairly but not necessarily 50/50.
Spousal maintenance (alimony) — Courts may award maintenance based on income disparity, length of marriage, and the standard of living established during the marriage.
Parental responsibilities (child custody) — Courts focus on the best interests of the child when allocating decision-making authority and parenting time.
Child support — Colorado uses an income-shares model to calculate support obligations based on both parents' incomes and the amount of parenting time.

Why Local Representation in Colorado Matters

Colorado courts have their own individual court procedures, judicial preferences, and local legal culture. Our attorneys have deep familiarity with most courts in the state and work tirelessly to protect your rights at every stage — from filing the initial petition to negotiating a settlement or litigating at trial.

We know the courts, we know the community, and we know what it takes to get results for Colorado clients. When your future is on the line, local experience isn't just a benefit — it's a strategic advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a divorce take in Colorado?

Uncontested divorces can be finalized in as little as 91 days from the date of filing. Contested divorces typically take 6 to 18 months depending on the complexity of the issues, including property disputes, custody matters, and support.

Does it matter who files for divorce first?

In most cases, no. However, the petitioner — the spouse who files first — does have some procedural advantages, such as presenting their case first at hearings. An attorney can help you evaluate whether filing first is strategically beneficial in your situation.

Can I get divorced without going to court?

Yes, sometimes. If both spouses agree on all issues — property, debts, parenting, and support — it may be possible to finalize the divorce without a contested hearing. An attorney can still help ensure the agreement is fair, complete, and enforceable.

What happens to our house in a Colorado divorce?

The family home is marital property subject to equitable division. Common options include selling and splitting the proceeds, one spouse buying out the other's equity, or a deferred sale arrangement often used when minor children are involved.
