Approximately half of all marriages end in divorce, and when you have decided to end your marriage, you probably want to get things finalized as soon as possible. 

Unfortunately, multiple factors could have an impact on how fast you can get divorced. Here are four of the top things that delay Colorado divorce timelines.  

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a severe criminal offense in the state of Colorado. Because DUIs happen so frequently, many myths surrounding DUI charges might surprise you. 

Myths surrounding spousal maintenance in Colorado aren't uncommon. Many people believe that spousal maintenance is consistently awarded, applied temporarily as soon as divorce is filed, or that spousal maintenance lasts for life.

Only then can you prepare for how the courts decide in your divorce settlement.

Through record expungement or sealing, you may be able to finally close that chapter of your life and move forward into a brighter future. 

Everyone loves a good true crime story or sensationalized crime special on television. But don't let these myths you see on TV fool you. They may showcase being thrown out left and right over minor issues with a Miranda warning, but the truth is that these situations are rare. 

Whether you just found out that your spouse filed for divorce or you have made the decision to end your marriage, the first legal step in the process is contacting a reputable divorce lawyer. Once you’ve scheduled your initial consultation, it’s time to prepare for your meeting.
