Maintenance (Alimony)
If your marriage is ending in Colorado, you may be entitled to financial support. Called "
maintenance" in Colorado, the amount of money you may receive is determined by your financial needs, your ability to earn money and your spouse’s income. Ongoing maintenance after
divorce is determined by the judge and is documented in the separation agreement. The forms below are to acquire or waive temporary support while the
divorce is pending.
Each state’s
alimony laws are different. Bradford’s book
Friendly Divorce Guidebook for Colorado provides all the information you need to make
divorce-related decisions. It walks you through the legal process and covers the law relating to
alimony,
real estate issues, and
tax issues. Also great for attorneys and mediators, the accompanying CD contains key
Colorado legal forms.
