Question Details:

You can file for a divorce in Coorado if you have been domiciled in Colorado at least 90 days. If you can file and serve your husband with a divorce petition prior to his deportation the court can resolve all issues in the divorce. If he is deported prior to being served the courts can disolve the marriage but may be limited as to orders it can issue directed at your husband such as for spousal maintenance or division of marital property.
