What are the residency requirements for Colorado before I can file for divorce?
In order to file for divorce in Colorado, one of the spouses must have lived in this state continuously for at least 90 days. It is not necessary that you become a resident as long as the 90-day requirement is satisfied. Thus, if you are living outside of Colorado and your spouse has been living here for the past 90 days, you can file for divorce in this state. However, if children are involved, it’s possible that you may not get orders regarding the children unless they have also lived in Colorado for at least six months.
