Can My Spouse Prevent Me from Getting a Divorce?

Colorado is a no-fault divorce state. This means that either spouse can file for divorce without having to prove wrongdoing or fault, such as adultery or abandonment. The only legally recognized grounds for divorce in Colorado is that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” This essentially means that there’s no hope of reconciliation, and at least one party believes the marriage cannot be salvaged.
