Generally, no. The standard for a divorce in Colorado is whether the marriage is irretrievably broken. For most judges, the marriage will be irretrievably broken if one party says it is. You do not have to prove cause.

Under the Colorado statutes, your inheritance will be considered your separate property. The judge in a divorce will only divide marital property. However, in a final orders hearing, all property of the spouses is presumed to be marital property until you prove that it is separate property. I recommend that you keep the inheritance in a separate account apart from any bank account in which you keep your earnings to avoid commingling marital and separate property, and to ensure that you will be able to trace the separate property monies.
