In 2026, Colorado divorce filings can trigger an automatic temporary injunction that restricts certain actions while the case is pending. That typically means you should avoid moving children in ways that disrupt the other parent’s access, and you should avoid unusual transfers or concealment of marital assets. The statute on commencement and the automatic injunction is designed to stabilize things so neither spouse creates chaos while the court is deciding issues. Colorado also requires a waiting period before a decree can be entered, so planning ahead helps you manage housing, cash flow, and temporary parenting schedules during that time. Gather financial documents early and change passwords for personal security, but do not destroy records or shut down access to shared information that the court may require. A lawyer can help you build a safe transition plan that follows the injunction rules while protecting your finances and your relationship with the children.
