Colorado is a pure no-fault divorce state. In contrast to some other states where you have the option to choose a ground for divorce, such as the marriage is irretrievably broken or something more specific like adultery, cruelty, abandonment, etc., the only ground for divorce in Colorado is that the marriage is irretrievably broken. Being a no-fault divorce state also means that when the Court is determining how to divide the marital estate or whether to award spousal maintenance, the Court cannot consider marital misconduct or actions by either party that led to the divorce or legal separation.
