FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Welcome to the fifth edition of the "Friendly Divorce Guidebook for Colorado." Five editions in just under nine years illustrate the fast-changing nature of the divorce process in Colorado. Change means we must revise in order to keep up our commitment to you to provide accurate and current information for doing your own divorce in our beautiful state. This edition is updated for legal, tax, and procedural changes through the 2003 federal income tax reduction. We have also added information about the ending of a living together relationship where a couple ceases to be partners, and where law and procedure is sometimes the same as, and in many places significantly different from, that for dissolution of marriage. 
You can read the Guidebook chapter by chapter, in order, going through every step in the contemporary, amicable Colorado divorce. You can also begin anywhere in it. Each chapter contains a complete topic. Look for specific questions as they occur to you. You can use the index and treat this book like an encyclopedia.
