Q: If my spouse and I completely agree to the divorce in Colorado, is the JDF 1201 FORM the only thing we need to file?
There are no minor children and my spouse has been absent from the marriage for 8 years.
A: No. You also need to file a Petition. You need to provide each other with your mandatory disclosures and certify that you have done so. You will need to file a Separation Agreement and Parenting Plan. You need to provide a form of Decree. You should get a lawyer to help you with all this.

A: That is good that you agree on everything. I agree with the last answer. There are a number of documents that must be filed at different times. An attorney can handle the paperwork for you and make sure that it is prepared correctly and filed at the right time.
