Dividing Property in a Colorado Divorce: What You Need to Know

Dividing assets during a divorce can be one of the most challenging parts of the process. Colorado is an "equitable distribution" state, which means marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily equally.

Marital property generally includes all assets and debts acquired during the marriage, regardless of who purchased them. Separate property, such as gifts, inheritances, or items owned before the marriage, typically remains with the original owner.

Courts consider various factors including the contribution of each spouse, economic circumstances, and more. Legal guidance ensures your interests are protected during this life transition.
