Does Colorado require separation before divorce?
At least one spouse must meet the state’s residency requirement, which means living in Colorado for at least 91 days before filing for separation. Colorado is a no-fault divorce state which means that the court doesn’t require either spouse to point fingers at the other to prove the marriage is over.
Do I have to pay spousal support when I retire?
If the payor reaches full retirement age, or retires involuntarily, such as for medical reasons or being forced out of a job, then a court may consider it reasonable to reduce or terminate spousal support. A court may not find it reasonable for a payor to voluntarily retire before age 65 and expect to get a reduction.
What happens to spousal support when I retire?
If there is no end date or review date in your separation agreement or court order, spousal support is considered indefinite. Where that is the case, it is open to you and your former spouse to negotiate the issue of ending spousal support on your retirement.
