Re: Filing for divorce in two different states
Thank you for your inquiry.
In order to determine whether the Colorado courts have jurisdiction in your case, I would need additional information from you. For example, you would need to be domiciled in Colorado for at least 90 days prior to filing for divorce here. In addition, there other important factors that must be considered. For example, if there are children, where do they reside? In which state have you and your wife lived together? In which state is your property located? These factors must be analyzed to determine which state has jurisdiction.
If you wish, I would be happy to schedule a consultation with you, where we may discuss the particular circumstance of your case. If you are interested, kindly contact us at the number below. Thanks again, and we look forward to helping you, if at all possible.
