Legally, yes. To protect against future allegations, the written consent should be filed in the court file. Due to Colorado's strict requirements that either you or your husband be a legal, domiciliary resident of Colorado for at least 90 days before filing the petition and the complexities of trying to handle your case from CA without an attorney, you should consult a CO attorney and not try to continue the case without an attorney.
