Question Presented (from Petition)

In accordance with the Uniform Dissolution of
Marriage Act, Colorado Revised Statute
14-10-106(l)(a) mandates "The district court shall
enter a decree of dissolution of marriage... when..The
court finds that the marriage is irretrievably
broken ". A court also lacks jurisdiction to remarry
anyone without consent. And by state law, decrees
are permanent even if issued in error.
Colorado statute and case law also requires courts to
explicitly reserve jurisdiction to divide property
when it does not divide property upon decree
issuance, and under no circumstance allows more
than 63 further days to divide property after
required decree issue.

1. Do the First, Fifth, Thirteenth, or Fourteenth
Amendments bar a state from: failing to issue,
unilaterally revoking, or deferring reissue of a
divorce decree (for nearly two years) after making
'irretrievably broken ' findings - thus effecting
forced remarriage and involuntary servitude?

2. Do the Fifth, Thirteenth, or Fourteenth
Amendments bar a state from depriving property
from a person during such servitude or peonage,
in absence of jurisdiction, or by error?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Do the First, Fifth, Thirteenth, or Fourteenth Amendments bar a state from failing to issue, unilaterally revoking, or deferring reissue of a divorce decree after making 'irretrievably broken' findings, thus effecting forced remarriage and involuntary servitude?
