Colorado Divorce Tips & Requirements for 2025
The most common questions we hear focus on affordability, timing, and what Colorado courts require in the first 60 days. Use these quick Colorado divorce tips as a checklist before you file.
- Confirm eligibility: Make sure you meet the residency and paperwork deadlines outlined in our Colorado divorce requirements guide so your petition isn’t rejected for technical reasons.
- Budget for the court: The statewide Colorado divorce filing fee is currently $230, and many counties add $10–$30 for e-filing and sheriff service. Bring fee-waiver paperwork (JDF 205) if you plan to request relief.
- Consider online filing: Most districts now allow you to file divorce online in Colorado through the Integrated Colorado Courts E-Filing System (ICCES). You can still file in person if you prefer a paper trail.
- Estimate support early: Run the Colorado child support calculator and alimony calculator in Colorado inside our financial portrait so you have realistic numbers ahead of mediation.
- Track total costs: Beyond filing fees, plan for parenting classes ($75–$150), mediation, and document prep so you have a clear picture of the typical Colorado divorce cost.

Colorado divorce questions we hear most
Straightforward answers drawn from Colorado statutes, court procedures, and the data behind our calculators.
