Given the short length of the marriage, it's unlikely alimony would be awarded, especially if she quit her job. Did you support her during the marriage? That is the more important question. Generally, even if alimony is awarded, you are looking at 1/3 to 1/2 the length of the marriage in Colorado, so not long, but I'd need to know more facts to give you a more complete response. Hope this helps.
