Property Division Attorney in Denver





During a divorce, one of the most important, and often most complex, matters is how to divide the marital property fairly between the two spouses. Before equitably dividing the marital property, it is important to determine which property is marital and which is the separate property of one of the parties.

Separate property most commonly constitutes property owned by a spouse prior to the marriage or acquired by gift during the marriage. Each party will receive his or her individual separate property. Since there are many issues to analyze when addressing the concept of separate property, it is advisable to obtain competent and experienced legal counsel.

Our Denver Divorce Lawyer Will Help Divide the Property Equitably

In Colorado, the marital property will be divided equitably between the two spouses. Equitably does not mean equally in Colorado. Rather, the court will divide the marital property based on an analysis of several statutory factors. The court has discretion in dividing the marital property and can utilize its discretions to achieve an equitable result.

It is important to note that Colorado is not a community property state, and there is no clear cut rule for dividing marital property. Although many Colorado cases result in an equal property division, they are always analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
