Colorado Revised Statutes Title 14. Domestic Matters § 14-10-120.3. Dissolution of marriage or legal separation upon affidavit--requirements

(1) Final orders in a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or legal separation may be entered upon the affidavit of either or both parties when:

(2) If one party desires to submit the matter for entry of final orders upon an affidavit, the submitting party shall file his or her affidavit setting forth sworn testimony showing the court's jurisdiction and factual averments supporting the relief requested in the proceeding together with a copy of the proposed decree, a copy of any separation agreement proposed for adoption by the court, and any other supporting evidence. The filing of the affidavit does not shorten any statutory waiting period required for entry of a decree of dissolution or decree of legal separation.

(3) The court shall not be bound to enter a decree upon the affidavits of either or both parties, but the court may, upon its own motion, require that a formal hearing be held to determine any or all issues presented by the pleadings.
