Fuller & Ahern, P.C. Advocates for the Best Interests of Families in Colorado

During and after a divorce, one of the most challenging aspects is dividing up the marital property. You may have concerns about how to handle this process, especially if there is a significant amount of property or other valuable assets to divide. At Fuller & Ahern, P.C., our attorneys are experienced in property division, and we can help you navigate this process.

How Is Property Divided in a Divorce?

Colorado is a community property state. This means that all property and debts acquired during the marriage are considered marital property and are divided equally between the spouses when the marriage ends.

In addition, a judge has the ability to divide property outside of this 50/50 split if the couple agrees. This is often the case for very valuable property, such as a business or a professional practice.

There are four main factors that a judge will consider when dividing property:

• the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the property
• the value of the property
• the economic situation of each spouse
• any other factors the judge deems relevant

How Does Your Attorney Evaluate Your Property?

Our attorneys have significant experience in evaluating and dividing property. We will take the time to understand all of the important aspects of your situation.

We will evaluate all of the marital property and take into account the four factors listed above. We will also consider the tax implications of dividing the property and may recommend that you wait until the end of the tax year to do so.

Our goal is to make sure that you are fairly and equitably compensated for your property. We will work with you to develop a strategy that is tailored to your specific needs.
