Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Many people file for divorce in Colorado without hiring an attorney. This is often called representing yourself or filing “pro se.” This course is designed to help you better understand the forms and steps involved in the Colorado divorce process.

  • No. This course is for general educational purposes only. It does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not provide legal advice for your specific situation. If you have questions about your rights, safety, children, property, or whether you should sign an agreement, you should consider speaking with an attorney.

  • If you and the other party have children under 19, choose the Divorce With Children course. That course includes information about parenting plans, child support worksheets, and other forms that may apply when minor children are involved.

  • If you do not have children together, or your children are 19 or older, choose the Divorce Without Children course. That course focuses on the forms and steps that usually apply when minor children are not part of the divorce case.

  • The forms you need depend on your situation. A divorce with children usually requires different forms than a divorce without children. This course walks through common Colorado divorce forms and explains where to find the current versions from the Colorado Judicial website.

  • Course access is included for at least 12 months after purchase.

  • No. The course explains the forms and walks through the process, but you are responsible for completing and filing your own paperwork.

  • If there is domestic violence, threats, stalking, intimidation, or any safety concern, this course may not be enough. You should consider speaking with an attorney or contacting a local support organization before taking action.

  • This course directs you to the official Colorado Judicial website so you can download the current forms. Court forms can change, so you should always use the most current version available from Colorado Judicial.

  • You can still use the course to better understand the paperwork and process. However, if you expect major disagreements about parenting time, decision-making, support, property, debt, or safety, you may need legal advice from an attorney.
