About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in Colorado, where both spouses agree on the terms.
Colorado is a pure no-fault, co-petitioner-friendly state. Cases with minor children add the official Parenting Plan (JDF 1113), the Support Order (JDF 1117), and child support computed with the official calculator. Custody and support terms remain subject to the court's best-interests review. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.
PETITION FOR DIVORCE OR LEGAL SEPARATION (JDF 1011, Rev. October 2025). The official Colorado Judicial Branch form that opens a dissolution in the District Court — for cases with minor children.

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Petition for Divorce or Legal Separation (JDF 1011) that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
At least one spouse must have been domiciled in Colorado for at least 91 days before filing, and the children must have lived in Colorado for at least 182 days (or since birth if under six months) so the court can decide custody under the UCCJEA (C.R.S. §§ 14-10-106, 14-13-201). File in the District Court for a county where either spouse lives. Confirm local filing practice with the clerk.
Colorado is pure no-fault: the only ground is that the marriage is irretrievably broken (C.R.S. § 14-10-106). Signing the petition together as co-petitioners is the simplest agreed path - it skips the summons, service, and response. If your spouse will not agree, this is not your packet.
The same 91-day minimum applies (§ 14-10-106(1)(a)(III)). Cases with minor children add the Parenting Plan (JDF 1113) and child support computed with the official Colorado calculator, and the JDF 1018 no-appearance path is available only when both spouses are represented by lawyers with a signed agreement (§ 14-10-120.3) - self-represented parents finish at a hearing. You are not divorced until the judge signs the Decree (JDF 1019) and the clerk enters it. Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is the agreed path for spouses who settle every issue. If your spouse will contest, consult a Colorado attorney about the contested process.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a Colorado attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
