Or is it where they filed papers that would dictate the divorce requirements? MD has a law that states you have to be seperated for a year before you can file papers? But wouldn't they be a CO resident??

If you started filing in CO then you have to finish there. Every state is different when it comes to if you are a resident of their state of not. Check with state website or talk to you lawyer.

I would believe they are still a resident of CO. In most states you will need to be a resident for at least 6 months before filing officially. Check with a local lawyer or court official.

It depends on the state and whether they require the person reside in the state a certain number of days before filling for divorce. I believe the minimum reqirement is 90 days or the occurence of some act that forms the basis for the divorce. Others have a six month or 1 year residency requirement.
A quick internet search revealed that in Maryland, there is either no specific residency requirement if the act that formed the basis for the divorce occured in Maryland, or there is a one year requirement. See the link:

In Colorado, you have to be domiciled there for 90 days prior to filing the petition. It would seem as if you could not file in Colorado, because you no longer live there.
As for Maryland, it would seem that unless the grounds for divorce occured in Maryland, you would have to wait one year.

Good luck.

Where you live now, but you had better hurry. If your ex files in Texas before you file in your state, you will have to travel back to Texas for all of the court dates!

Do you work, go to school, a driving liscense, etc in the new state? If so, then you are a resident there.

courts mostly look to the 6 month rule, you arent a resident until six months goes by

Geez. It's amazing how people just guess while giving legal advice. Don't listen to this stuff. Find out for sure. Ask an attorney.
