Protect Your Non-marital Assets

In Colorado, the general rule is that all property accumulated during the marriage is equitably divided in the event of a divorce. There are certain exceptions to this rule. For example, gifts, inheritances and property that you had before the marriage are usually considered non-marital property and do not have to be divided between divorcing spouses. We have extensive experience helping clients protect their non-marital assets.

Property Subject to Division in a Divorce

  • Retirement benefits and pensions - We will review your and your spouse's retirement and pension plans to protect your financial interests.
  • Real estate - Finding out the correct market value of your home or other real estate is essential to a fair division of equity between spouses. If you owned business property or residential real estate prior to the marriage, we will protect your non-marital property interest.
  • Investment accounts, securities and bonds - We will help you determine the appropriate allocation of all brokerage and stock amounts.
  • Trusts - We will analyze the trust to determine whether it is marital or separate property.
  • Personal property - Boats, cars, furniture, household goods and other personal property are subject to division in a divorce.

Colorado is a No-Fault Divorce State

In Colorado, you don't have to prove any fault, such as adultery or cruelty to get a divorce. The only grounds for a divorce is that there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. As your lawyer, we will help with all of the legal issues associated with a divorce, such as child custody, child support, alimony and property division.
