I am in Colorado and have been separated from my husband for almost five years. Are we considered divorced?

No, you have to file for divorce and have the court grant a divorce before you are divorced. The fact that you have been separated for five years could factor into the division of property and debts and maintenance (alimony). I hope this helps.

What is a divorce decree?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Flatiron Legal Advisors LLC
A divorce decree is the final order granting a dissolution of marriage. There are a lot of hoops to jump through  between filing the petition and getting a decree, including preparing and exchanging financial statements and information, preparing separation agreements and parenting plans, etc. The fastest a decree can be issued is 91 days after you are served with the petition. We offer help with the forms (and getting you through the process as quickly as possible (and possibly limiting court appearances) on a flat fee basis. We also mediate, which can include document preparation) if you would like some assistance. I hope this helps.

How hard would it be to get a divorce

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Flatiron Legal Advisors LLC
Missing spouse cases are complicated because you have to petition the court to allow you to serve him by publication. Part of the petition is proving to the court that you have tried to locate him, but could not (we usually have a private investigator do an electronic search for the missing spouse and submit the PI's report to the court with the motion as evidence of trying to locate him). You then have to publish notice of the divorce in your local newspaper for 5 weeks. Once that is done, you follow all the other procedures and file all the required "normal" divorce paperwork. None of this is cheap or fast (I'd expect it to take 5-6 months). We do these cases regularly on a flat fee basis if you would like assistance. For $795, we do all the paperwork and assist/coach you through the whole process, including all of the missing spouse procedures (you are responsible for filing the documents, and court costs and fees). Our goal is to help you get though the process faster than you could on your own, make sure all the procedures and documents are done correctly. Please feel free to call me if you would like to discuss your case further. I hope this helps.
