Meeker, CO Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

The courts expect you to make a good faith effort to located the spouse and serve them (I hire a private investigator to do a search, which is not expensive) and if you still cannot find them, you then file a motion to be allowed to serve the party by publication. I often take cases like this on a flat rate basis. I also offer a free initial consultation if you would like to discuss this further. Hope this helps.    You can reach Dave Rich at (303) 886-2516 or dave@flatironlegal.com. Dave Rich is an attorney licensed in Colorado. Answering your questions does not create an attorney-client relationship between us. You should speak with an attorney to whom you have provided all the facts in your case, before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. I am not obligated to answer subsequent emails or phone calls unless you have hired me. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.

Yes, the Court can mandate parents use Talking Parents for communication.  It can also specify a time frame within which communication must be answered.  If the Court does include such provisions in an Order, failure to abide by the Order could result in contempt of Court.   Sherri Murgallis Murgallis Law Firm, LLC 303-444-4353

You can file in the county where you live. If you file jointly as petitioner and co-petitioner, you don't need a waiver of service. If there are no children, you should be able to get though it without any court appearances, but there are some deadlines you have to meet to avoid going to court. I hope this helps.
