The Emotional Toll of Marital Challenges
When your marriage is on the rocks, the emotional turmoil can be overwhelming. You may feel lost, confused, and unsure about your future. Many couples in Colorado find themselves at a crossroads, wondering if they should pursue a legal separation or dive straight into divorce proceedings.

Understanding Legal Separation and Divorce in Colorado
Legal separation can be a viable alternative to divorce for some couples. It allows you to live separately while remaining legally married, which can have benefits for healthcare, taxes, and even potential reconciliation. Our attorneys can help you navigate the intricacies of legal separation, ensuring your rights and interests are protected.
The Divorce Process: What to Expect
If you decide that divorce is the right path for you, understanding the process is crucial. In Colorado, the divorce process typically takes at least 91 days from filing to finalization.
