Denver Divorce FAQs

How long do I have to live in Colorado before I can file for divorce?

At least one spouse must have lived in Colorado for 91 days before filing, under C.R.S. § 14-10-106. Colorado does not set a separate county residency requirement, so a Denver resident who meets the 91-day rule can generally begin the process.

How long does a divorce take in Denver?

Colorado law requires a 91-day waiting period that starts when the other spouse is served or when both spouses file together, and a decree cannot be entered before it ends. How much longer a case takes depends on whether you agree on property, support, and parenting issues.

What financial information do I have to share in a Colorado divorce?

Both spouses must exchange financial disclosures under C.R.C.P. 16.2, generally within 42 days of service unless a judge changes the deadline. That includes a sworn financial statement along with supporting records such as tax returns, pay stubs, and bank and retirement account statements.

Do we still need to go through the court if we agree on everything?

Yes. Even when spouses reach a full agreement, the court must review and approve it before entering the decree, and whether that involves a brief hearing depends on the circumstances. Agreeing on the terms can make the process more efficient, but it does not remove the court’s role.

"Jennifer Lewis with Lewis and Mathews, PC, was perfect for what I needed - and asked her to do. I'm a lawyer, so familiar with the legal process though not with domestic relations law. She reviewed the settlement agreement that I had negotiated with my husband (now ex) with a mediator. She asked me questions to help me think through issues I had not been aware of or considered. She provided information to ensure that I was aware of what I could get if I went to court and what I was giving up. She made good recommendations for changes to the settlement agreement. She charged me a reasonable fee. She was accessible and a pleasure to deal with. I compare this with another lawyer I had been to whose eyes were rolling with dollar signs and charged me an exorbitant amount for what I did not ask for; want or need. I highly recommend her."

"We're fortunate to have such a great law office in Denver. My case stretched on almost a year AFTER my divorce, without the help of L&M I'm not sure I would have won. Men don't win cases often but Jennifer did a fantastic job up against a series of well manufactured lies. Documentation over the years was critical in my case and the explanation and presentation of the evidence went off without any issues. I was lucky to have them in my corner and you would be too. If I ever have any other future issues, Jennifer is who I'm turning to."

"I retained Jennifer Lewis to represent me in my divorce. Jennifer explained the rules, kept me informed, and expertly navigated the process. It was not always easy for me, as this is a very stressful time. Working with Jennifer made it easier. I felt like Jennifer always looked out for my interest and allowed me to complete the divorce with my character in tact. I felt like Jennifer was better prepared and more knowledgeable than the apposing council. I give Lewis and Mathews my highest recommendation, specifically Jennifer Lewis."

"Jennifer Lewis is phenomenal to say the least. During this turbulent time, you want to be armed with good representation and support. Jennifer always went above and beyond to provide that.

Although my divorce ended being more lengthy and costly than I expected, I wouldn’t have picked another attorney. Through the highs and lows, Jennifer was by my side, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help while navigating the divorce process."

"In the Fall of 2018 I was getting a divorce yet knew very little about it. Sleepless at 4am I contacted Lewis & Matthews through their website. I described my circumstances in detail and by 9am that same morning I had a call back from Jennifer Lewis. Over the next few weeks and months I learned everything I needed to know and much much more from Jennifer and her team at Lewis & Matthews. They guided me through one of the most difficult years of my life with understanding and expertise. I always felt like I was working with wonderful people who happened to be Lawyers and Paralegals. They never lost sight of how much I was going through.

Once my divorce was finalized and I was ready to set myself up for the next phase of my life, Lewis & Matthews' network of resources became invaluable too. Thank you to everyone at Lewis & Matthews for making a challenging time less lonely and thank you for equipping me with such empowering knowledge each time we met. I highly HIGHLY recommend Lewis & Matthews!"

"At the onset of my divorce, I was scared, fragile, and anxious about what I was about to go through. Jennifer and her team helped to understand my needs and concerns and provided the tools that I needed to help me to feel prepared, supported, and understood. Jennifer and her team were warm, professional, and present throughout the entire process. While I don't wish divorce on anyone, if you must go through it, I couldn't imagine a better team than Lewis & Matthews, PC to be by your side."

- Sonja G., review on Google My Business(★★★★★)

"I hired Lewis and Matthews to represent me in difficult child custody case/relocation and I am so pleased that I did. By not having any experience with family law, I was concerned about hiring the wrong lawyer and to me that would have meant someone who was elevating fees or someone who was not familiar with the complicated issues in family law.

Jennifer’s knowledge of family law practice is incredible and her ability to compose and draft documents is outstanding. Jennifer was honest with her advice and creative when it came time to making a new parenting plan. I realized how important it is to make sure that attorney listens to you, Jennifer met with myself and my fiancé on many occasions and went over my case to make sure that I understand everything and are prepared for trial. If we needed to call and discuss anything with her she was always available and happy to talk. Jodi her paralegal is incredible, always helpful and easy to contact, my questions were always addressed within minutes. In addition, Jodi is very experienced in family law, which allowed a very efficient and cost-effective representation without sacrificing quality or professionalism. They are both AMAZING! The overall outcome from the trial was a huge success.

I would definitely recommend Lewis and Matthews Law Firm they are the BEST!!!"

"I was given Jennifer Lewis' information from a dear friend of mine when my husband asked for a divorce pretty much out of the blue. I was devastated and afraid he and his lawyer would try to take half my investments and inheritance. I wasn't sure what he would be entitled to. After my first meeting with Jennifer and Jodi her paralegal, I felt a huge feeling of relief. I felt secure in the information that I got and slept that night better than I had in weeks. The divorce proceeded and I had full confidence that Jennifer worked for my benefit all the way. I felt very good about the outcome from mediation. I did well and did not lose any of my investments or inheritance. Also, her charges were fair and reasonable. Divorce is a painful thing, but Jennifer and Jodi made it less painful with their knowledge and compassion. I would not hesitate to refer Jennifer Lewis to anyone in a similar situation. Not for a second!"

“Divorce is never an easy process to go through. Jennifer walked me through every single phase and educated me on what to expect. I felt like they accurately represented me and were firm but fair with opposing council. Jennifer is level-headed, calm and organized. I would recommend her again and again!”
