What Is the Divorce Process in Colorado?
The divorce process can vary from county to county in Colorado. As a general rule parties can expect the following:
- The case begins with the filing of a petition or co-petition
- An answer to the petition is filed;
- The court orders or the parties agree to an initial case management plan
- The parties begin working to resolve custody issues, sometimes using a *parental investigator or evaluator
- The parties engage in discovery (a formal exchange of documents and information)
- The parties attempt to settle the case through mediation
- If mediation fails, the parties have a trial on all outstanding issues
