There is no information about income or earning capacity. Regardless of state, there is no information in the post that supports any conclusion about spousal support.
Even in Colorado, there is no 10 year threshhold for permanent maointenance or otherwise. THe statutes state as follows:
"Without regard to marital misconduct, the court will consider all relevant factors when making an award including, but not limited to: (1) The financial status of the party seeking maintenance; (2) The time necessary to gain employment or establish earning capacity (3) The standard of living enjoyed during the marriage; (4) The duration of the marriage; (5) The age and the health condition of the spouse seeking maintenance; and (6) The ability of the spouse from whom maintenance is sought to meet his or her needs while meeting those of the spouse seeking maintenance. (Colorado Statutes - Article 10 - Sections: 14-10-114, 14-10-117)"
No information has been provided regarding the factors listed for Colorado. While it is possible for a court to award permnent spousal support on a 10 year marriage, it is also possible for a court to award no spousal support on a 30 year marriage. Anything is possible depending on the underlying facts.

If she incurred debt during the marriage without your consent, YOU OWE THE MONEY. Sorry bud, that is what you signed up for when You signed that marriage contract. Get out of this marriage NOW, 10 years is the magic payoff number for the vagina.
Force her out of the home if possible. take all her money if possible, it will make it harder for her to get an attorney. Take any assets you can and get them as far away from her as possible. GET THOSE CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTS CLOSED ASAP. If your income is higher than hers, quit your job ASAP, otherwise you have a target on your back.
If you give that kid ANY MONEY you could be paying for her until she is 21 by law. Don't do it, ever. If you manage to get away from this woman with even 1/3 of your wallet, you'll be lucky. What state are you in, so we can all see how screwed you are...

Well, she ran up debt without his knowledge, which he will now be responsible, but somehow is "clown"ish to suggest he financial damage HER as well? Why is that?

Why give a "senior" discount, they have had plenty of time to raise the money...

Right here:
"My wife has incurred a significant amount of debt without my consent, against my wishes and in HER NAME ALONE."
In the first post.

And you just LOVE to snipe at someone without adding anything to the conversation. Don't you have a vagina to sell, or more to the point RENT, to someone?

Actually the poster said "My wife has incurred a significant amount of debt without my consent, against my wishes and in HER NAME ALONE." So it would seem he had some knowledge (though its not certain), but did not have the ability to stop her. Obviously when she showed up with two new cars he knew she had incurred debt - but does that really count as having knowledge?
He's divorcing her - he is taking about the only course of action you can take when you find out a spouse has done that.

Forgiveness is...letting go of the hope that the past can be changed.

You obviously know nothing about Colorado.
Permanent, Lifetime "Spousal Maintenance" is common here, even for marriages of only 10 years, and it *will* be awarded in marriages over 20 years if the parties cannot come to their own agreement, if the income disparity is greater than about 15%.
You are correct, the statutes say nothing about duration, but decades of case law has made this so. Give a family law attorney in Colorado a call and ask them what the odds are of permanent lifetime alimony being awarded to a WOMAN (not to a man, but a WOMAN) in a marriage of over 10 years where the woman is a SAHM. Ask the same question about 20 years. A very high percentage of 10-20 year marriages result in lifetime alimony, and nearly ALL over 20 years get lifetime. Again, I am only talking about women getting alimony. If the genders are reversed, magically the alimony is short duration, if any at all.
Get back to us after consulting a Colorado Family Law attorney.
