It can be easy to view divorce as a black and white subject where couples are either married or divorced, old or young, happy or not. Often, the reality of divorce is that it resides somewhere in a more gray area, where each couple in Colorado will likely face unique issues or driving factors when deciding if filing for divorce is the best option. As such, recently released statistics may surprise those who previously viewed divorce in such stark terms.

When it comes to making big, life-altering choices, most people in Colorado would likely agree that they prefer to be involved in the process.

While this can be an appropriate course of action for some couples, others can likely settle on more preferable terms for child custody and/or a divorce settlement on their own terms.

Many divorces in Colorado are settled without a hitch, but in some instances, there may be a significant disagreement about how assets should be divvied up. Although these disagreements are typically addressed before a divorce is concluded, it is possible for one party to uncover information that might lead them to believe that a settlement was not as fair as it initially appeared.
