Technically, there is no such thing as common law divorce. All married couples, common law or not, have to go through the same legal divorce process. This means that a common-law couple who divorces will have the same rights to alimony in Colorado, child support, child custody, division of marital property, etc. An experienced Colorado family law attorney at Litvak Litvak Mehrtens and Carlton can guide common law divorced couples through the formal divorce process while helping them agree on spousal and child support.
