Major Colorado Cities
These cities have populations exceeding 25,000 residents. Divorce cases filed by residents of these cities are heard in their respective county District Courts.
Understanding City vs County Divorce Records
Colorado does not have city-level divorce courts. All divorce cases are filed in the District Court of the county where one of the spouses resides. If you live in a city that spans multiple counties, you may file in any county where you meet the residency requirements.
The 91-day residency requirement under C.R.S. § 14-10-106 applies to the state of Colorado. You or your spouse must have lived in Colorado for at least 91 days before filing. You file in the county where either of you lives.
For cities like Aurora that span multiple counties (Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas), your specific address determines which District Court handles your case. The same applies to Littleton, which spans three counties.
Note: Always verify the correct county for your address before filing for divorce. This ensures your case is filed in the proper jurisdiction.
