Breckenridge, CO Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

The courts expect you to make a good faith effort to located the spouse and serve them (I hire a private investigator to do a search, which is not expensive) and if you still cannot find them, you then file a motion to be allowed to serve the party by publication. I often take cases like this on a flat rate basis. I also offer a free initial consultation if you would like to discuss this further. Hope this helps.    You can reach Dave Rich at (303) 886-2516 or dave@flatironlegal.com. Dave Rich is an attorney licensed in Colorado. Answering your questions does not create an attorney-client relationship between us. You should speak with an attorney to whom you have provided all the facts in your case, before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. I am not obligated to answer subsequent emails or phone calls unless you have hired me. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.

The divorce judgement should control what happens to the house and other issues. If your ex refuses to sign the paperwork, the judgement can be used instead of his signature. Otherwise, you can get a court order requiring him to sign. The QDRO should be prepared by the party specified in the judgment.

You can file in Colorado, but you would need to file Colorado divorce documents and agreements. She could either sign the Colorado documents or you can serve her in Arizona. If you want to file here and would like assistance, for a flat fee of $495 we will prepare all of the required documents and agreements for you, and help make sure that the case gets done as fast as possible, and we can help you avoid having to appear in court at all. Let us know if we can be of help (everything can be done by phone, email and fax, by the way). I hope this helps.
