Divorce Court Forms
Divorce Court Forms
There are as many ways to divorce as there are people, but one thing that everyone must do if they are getting divorced in Colorado is fill out a variety of divorce court forms. In Colorado, most divorce forms start with JDF…and there are a lot of them! Chances are, you will never need to even know about most of them, much less fill them out. However, there are a few that you will always be required to complete, starting with the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (JDF 1100) and the Case Information Sheet (JDF 1000). Those get the ball rolling.
Here is an incomplete list of Colorado divorce court forms – if you are just getting started, look at the flowcharts and instruction forms the court provides first. They’ll familiarize you with the process. And if you want to talk about any of this in person, schedule some time with me!

Colorado Divorce Mediator
Hello! I’m Liz
I'm a mom, a divorce mediator, and coach, with a twist – I call myself a transformational conflict coach. Why? Well, after my own rough divorce, I realized things could be different.
I went through the wringer, spending way too much money and feeling way too anxious.
But it hit me: it doesn't have to be that hard.
So, I made it my mission to help folks navigate conflict without all the drama. I've worked with hundreds of people, helping them sidestep the courtroom drama and save a ton of cash. My success rate? Around 70%. That's a lot of folks walking away feeling lighter and happier – and that's what it's all about.
