Before you can start any legal proceeding, you need to research Colorado’s residency requirements. Before filing a divorce petition, meet with experienced Denver divorce attorney Johnson Law Group to ensure you can forward with a formal written request for a divorce.
Resident laws require you to have lived in Denver for a minimum amount of time before you are eligible to apply for a divorce. In most counties, the period required is one year. If you or your spouse are currently living in another state, a waiting period may apply.
