This couple needs to contact a lawyer to make sure the situation legally matches their intention in reconciliation.

What do you mean by "does not fulfill the divorce decree"?

I was about to ask that.

Anyway, if the decree was signed by the judge and entered into the court records, they are divorced.

If it wasn't, they aren't.

I don't know what the dickens you mean by "fulfill the divorce decree". Are you thinking of a judgment nisi - one that becomes effective at a future date or some sort of interlocutory decree with a cooling off period? Anyway I don't believe they exist in your state. There is some talk around about "consummating a marriage", but I don't think it has anything to do with fulfilling a divorce decree!

Whatever, provided both are single (including being divorced) and sane and of age cohabiting as man and wife, combined with a couple of other minor details, can have specific legal consequences in Colorado. And sometimes as a precursor to divorce; which unfortunately brings us around to square one.
