The Colorado courts will grant a divorce upon finding that a marriage is “irretrievably broken.” This means that the only requirement is that the petitioner is able to prove irreconcilable differences between the two parties. Additionally, a divorce decree is granted by the court regardless of which partner is at “fault” in the situation. Colorado is known as a “no-fault” divorce state, which means that there is no need to prove wrongdoing of the other spouse in order to have your divorce granted.

Divorce is defined as the final ending or dissolving of a marriage as ordered by the court. In order to file for a divorce within a certain county, you or your spouse must have lived in the county for at least 90 days. If you do not want to file for a divorce, but rather want to prove that the marriage was not valid — i.e., obtain an annulment — there are other ways by which you end the marriage.
