What state are you in Denver? Interesting how both spouses have to file together.
I'm in Colorado. But no, both spouses don't have to file together. That's what my W wanted to do though. She wanted me to go with her to the courthouse, fill out the paperwork, and file the case with the court. I told her that I wouldn't help her end our M... but that I would cooperate if she filed on her own. 9 months later that hasn't happened, and we have a chance to reconcile.
I guess that my point is twofold. 1) You never know what is going to happen with the passage of time. Time is our friend when it comes to this. 2) Don't do anything to rush the divorce or help to get it going... this buys us time.
