Understanding Property Division In Colorado
Colorado is an equitable distribution state, not a community property state. This means that marital property is divided fairly between spouses, but not necessarily in an equal manner. The term “equitable” refers to a fair distribution based on various factors, rather than a strict 50/50 split. Our attorneys can help you understand how equitable distribution applies to your situation, especially when it intersects with other family law issues like child support.
It is essential to understand the distinction between marital and separate property to ensure a fair division of assets. Marital property includes assets that a spouse has acquired during the marriage. Separate property, on the other hand, refers to assets that a spouse has owned before the marriage or received as inheritance or gifts during the marriage.
Factors In Property Division
When dividing property in a divorce, Colorado courts consider various factors to ensure an equitable distribution. These factors include:
- Contributions of each spouse to the acquisition of marital property
- Economic circumstances of each spouse
- Value of separate property
To calculate property division, courts assess the overall financial situation of each spouse. Dissipation of assets or spending marital funds irresponsibly can also impact property division. The court may adjust the property division if one spouse has dissipated assets.
Our experienced attorneys at Coombe, Curry, Rich, Jarvis can help you understand how these factors apply to your specific situation and ensure the protection of your rights throughout the property division process. By working with us, you can seek a fair and equitable distribution of marital property that reflects your unique circumstances.
Types Of Marital Property
Marital property can include a wide range of assets. Examples of marital property include the following:
- Real estate, including homes and lands
- Retirement accounts, such as 401(k)s, pensions and IRAs
- Bank accounts
- Investments like stocks, bonds and mutual funds
- Business interests
- Personal property like vehicles, furniture and jewelry
In addition to assets, debts acquired during the marriage are also subject to property division. Examples of debts that may be divided include credit card debt, mortgages and car loans.
