Beulah, CO Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

Yes. You just need to have resided in Colorado for more than 90 days prior to filing (and minor children would need to have been here for more than 6 months in general). We offer flat fee uncontested divorces by a Colorado attorney starting at $795 if you would like help with the process, document preparation and guidance to ensure that you are getting the agreements right, are getting a fair deal and are getting done as fast as possible. I hope this helps. 

In NJ they are both subject to Equitable Distribution and must be considered as marital property for the period the parties were married. Protection only applies for any time the parties were not married.

First, if he controls the money and always has, he will likely be responsible for your attorney fees.  You should definitely consult an attorney.  The question is - in what state should you consult an attorney? Jurisdiction (what state the divorce can happen in) is determined by where the parties live, not by where the marriage or wedding occured.  How long have you lived in Colorado?  How long has he lived in Texas?  Do you have children?  In Colorado, you must have resided here, with an intent to live here permanently, for at least 90 days.  If that is the case, we could certainly help you.  If not, I am not licensed in Texas and you would need to contact a lawyer there. As to the prenuptial agreement, it is only enforceable regarding spousal support to the extent it is not grossly unfair to you.  The situation you describe sounds like it IS grossly unfair to you and can likely be challenged. I strongly suggest you consult an attorney because the issues are complex and he has a much strong negotiating position.
