Colorado is a no-fault divorce state, meaning spouses do not need to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. However, issues such as financial misconduct, emotional abuse, asset division, and parental responsibilities can still influence court decisions. Understanding how no-fault divorce works can help you navigate the legal and practical aspects of dissolving a marriage in Colorado.

For those unsure about whether divorce is the right move, Mary encourages clients to focus on three key areas:

1. Safety – Is there emotional, physical, or financial safety in the relationship?
   
   

2. Communication – Is there still a path toward cooperation or counseling?
   
   

3. Information – Do you understand your financial situation, legal rights, and what divorce would mean for your life?
   
   

In Colorado, exploring these questions doesn’t mean you have to immediately file. Mary often helps clients plan temporary arrangements such as financial support or physical separation while they decide.

Workers’ compensation is a state-created insurance program designed to replace traditional injury lawsuits. Instead of suing an employer after a workplace injury, employees are automatically entitled to certain benefits—regardless of who was at fault—so long as the injury occurred on the job.

Colorado attorney Mary Ewing, who has over 40 years of experience handling workers’ compensation, personal injury, and family law cases, shares what every injured worker should know about reporting injuries, getting medical care, and protecting their job.
