I'm currently living in Qatar and want my spouse and I have agreed to divorce. Can we file in Colorado?

Genet T. Johnson
Answered by attorney Genet T. Johnson
Divorce lawyer at Johnson Law Group, LLC
Hi Ann-Michelle, Thank you for your inquiry.  For Colorado to have jurisdiction over your divorce, either you or the other party must have lived in Colorado for at least 91 days before the divorce is filed.  For Colorado to have jurisdiction over issues pertaining to the children, the children must have lived in Colorado for at least 182 consecutive days prior to the filing date (or since birth if the children are under 6 months).  If you file in Colorado despite the children not living in Colorado for those time periods, then the court cannot address any issues regarding the children.  If you and the other party agree to share parenting time and decision-making over the children, and you both agree on the division of marital assets, then: (1) that's a good omen; and (2) it would be prudent to file the divorce as soon as practicable.  In my experience, the longer a party waits to file for divorce, the more likely there will be disputes to arise beteen the parties concerning the children and the division of marital assets. My firm handles dissolutions of marriage throughout Colorado.  If any of this is unclear, or if you would like to disucss your matter further, please feel free to reach out to me.

I have a texas marriage license but live in colorado ..can my husband force me to come back to texas for divorce

Kelly Snodgrass

Divorce lawyer at Robinson & Henry, P.C.
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.
