It is becoming increasingly common for marriages to either take place outside of the United States or end when spouses are living in different countries. If you want to file for a divorce in Colorado but your spouse is currently living outside of the United States, you might be confused as to how you move forward with your divorce filing.

Such divorce filings do have the potential to become complicated, because American family law needs to interact with international law and potentially the law of the country in which your other spouse is living. Therefore, it's a good idea that you take the time to learn about how the law applies to you before taking action in filing for your international divorce.

Gray divorce is more common than ever. Since the 1990s, reports from the Pew Research Center show that the rate of divorce has doubled for those who are at least 50 years old.

There are many nerve-wracking uncertainties in any pending divorce. Unless you have a legally valid prenuptial agreement on record or you agree on all terms about the divorce, it's hard to predict any details about the outcome of your divorce. In fact, the inability to predict the outcome can often leave people struggling through an unhappy or dysfunctional marriage instead of seeking divorce.

One common concern focuses on the biggest asset many couples obtain during the course of their marriage. The family home often represents the biggest purchase and one of the largest monthly expenses for your family. The equity in your home may very well be the most sizeable asset from your marriage. It is a common source of complication during a high asset divorce.
