What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado

My husband and I are planning on filing for divorce at the beginning of the year. We are both in full agreement on how we want our (meager) assets divided. We also have two children together and we've already figured out how we want to handle the custody. We agree completely. Neither of us makes enough money to afford a lawyer at all unfortunately. Will Colorado allow us to get divorced without going through lawyers? Especially if children are involved. We really don't want to go to the courts and be told no, either we can't get divorced or that we can't use the custody agreement we've already decided on. I'm having a very hard time finding any information online about how Colorado courts work in situations like this. Thanks for your help! :)

Thank you for those links. The first one unfortunately won't help as the county we live in doesn't appear to have anything. I'm checking the second link right now.
