Uncontested Divorce A Fresh, Modern Approach to Law

Uncontested Divorce in Denver

Clear, Sustainable Agreements for the Life You’re Building Next

An uncontested divorce requires more than a shared decision to end a marriage. You and your spouse must also resolve every material issue, which may include marital property and debt, spousal maintenance, child support, and parenting arrangements. We translate those decisions into complete, court-ready documents through a strategy tailored to your circumstances.

When children are involved, Colorado uses the term allocation of parental responsibilities, which includes parenting time and decision-making. Although people often search for visitation, a parenting plan must address how both parents will meet their responsibilities after the divorce.

What an Uncontested Divorce Agreement Should Resolve

Our review considers both the immediate terms of the divorce and how they may work over time. We pursue fair, sustainable arrangements while limiting unnecessary conflict.

Depending on your family and finances, the required documents may address:

Marital property and debt: Identifying assets, assigning shared obligations, and documenting how property will be divided.
Spousal maintenance: Stating whether maintenance applies and, if so, defining the amount, duration, and payment terms.
Child support: Calculating support under the applicable Colorado guidelines and the financial information provided.
Parenting time: Establishing regular schedules, holidays, exchanges, transportation, and communication expectations.
Decision-making: Allocating responsibility for significant choices involving education, health care, and other areas of a child’s welfare.

Why Legal Review Matters Even When You Agree

General agreement doesn’t ensure that informal promises are complete or enforceable. Missing deadlines, unclear payment terms, undefined parenting exchanges, or unaddressed debts can leave important questions unresolved. We provide practical guidance and prepare terms that accurately reflect the decisions you and your spouse have reached.

Founding attorney Alex White has 17 years of Colorado family-law experience and has held an AV Preeminent peer-review rating since 2010. That experience informs our individualized approach to property settlements, support, parenting plans, and related orders.

One lawyer can’t represent both spouses or advise both sides. Even in a cooperative case, each spouse may choose to obtain independent legal advice before signing a separation agreement or submitting documents to the court.

Colorado Filing & Waiting-Period Requirements

At least one spouse generally must have lived in Colorado for 91 days before filing for dissolution of marriage. Colorado recognizes irretrievable breakdown, meaning the marriage can’t be repaired, as the legal basis for dissolution when the statutory requirements are met.

Colorado also imposes a 91-day waiting period. In a joint filing, the period generally begins when the case is filed. Otherwise, it generally begins when the responding spouse is served. The waiting period doesn’t guarantee that the court will enter a decree as soon as it expires. Timing can depend on the submitted documents, unresolved issues, the presence of minor children, and whether further review or a hearing is necessary.

Financial Terms in a Separation Agreement

A separation agreement records the spouses’ decisions about property, debt, maintenance, and other financial obligations. Colorado follows equitable distribution, which means marital property is divided fairly under the relevant statutory factors rather than automatically divided equally.

Complete terms should identify what each spouse receives, who assumes each debt, when transfers or payments must occur, and how shared obligations will be handled. Financial disclosure and careful drafting remain important even when both spouses believe they understand the arrangement.

Parenting Plans, Parenting Time & Decision-Making

Cases involving minor children must address parenting schedules, decision-making, and child support. Colorado courts evaluate these arrangements under the best-interests standard, which focuses on circumstances affecting the child’s welfare. The appropriate terms depend on each family’s circumstances.

A parenting plan may need to cover school weeks, weekends, holidays, vacations, transportation, exchanges, parent-child communication, and major decisions. Specific terms matter because a generic visitation schedule may not account for work hours, school commitments, travel, or a child’s changing needs.

If an Uncontested Divorce Becomes Disputed

A case may begin cooperatively but require further negotiation if the spouses discover an unresolved asset, disagree about support, or can’t settle parenting terms. The case may still be resolved by agreement, but the dispute can change the documents, procedure, and legal strategy required.

The court may also request additional filings, review, or a hearing based on the completeness of the documents and the issues involved. We identify what remains unresolved and adjust the strategy to the case as it stands instead of treating every agreed divorce as a standard form-filing exercise.

"Would always be my choice"
I found Alexandria White through a neighborhood referral page and this office did not disappoint. From the very first meet (consult) she was very realistic about cost (less than I anticipated), timeframe, and the process. Advice was helpful in every choice I had to make. She was professional yet personal. There were a couple times my ex and his attorney were slow on deadlines and they took care of getting us back on track in a tactful and firm way while maintaining a positive tone with opposing counsel. The entire staff was friendly, efficient and I would make the confident choice to hire them all over again if needed.
