Colorado is an equitable distribution state, meaning property is divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. Factors considered include the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each spouse, and the contributions of each spouse to the marriage, both financial and non-financial.

Joint custody means both parents share decision-making responsibilities for the child. Physical custody refers to where the child lives. There can be joint legal custody with one parent having primary physical custody. Sole custody means one parent has both legal and physical custody.

Colorado uses a child support guidelines formula to determine child support. Factors include the income of both parents, the number of children, and the amount of time each parent spends with the children. However, the court can deviate from the guidelines under certain circumstances.

Colorado is a no-fault divorce state. This means you don’t need to prove fault, such as adultery or abuse, to get a divorce. The only ground for divorce is irreconcilable differences.

Whether or not you can receive spousal maintenance depends on several factors, including the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each spouse, and the standard of living during the marriage. The court considers these factors to determine if spousal maintenance is necessary and for how long.

To modify a child custody or child support order, you typically need to show a significant change in circumstances since the original order was issued. This might include a job loss, relocation, or a change in the child’s needs. You will need to file a petition with the court and provide evidence to support your request.
