In Colorado, marital property includes all assets and debts gained by either spouse during the marriage. It doesn’t matter whose name is on the title. Gifts, inheritances, and property owned before the marriage are excluded—unless they were mixed with marital assets.
Colorado follows equitable distribution, meaning marital property division should be fair, but not necessarily equal. Factors such as each spouse’s contribution, economic circumstances, and future earning capacity influence the division of marital property.
There is no automatic rule. The decision often depends on temporary orders, safety concerns, child custody arrangements, and financial capability. In some cases, the court may award temporary exclusive use of the home to one spouse.
Most marital property lawyers charge hourly rates, though some aspects of divorce property settlements may be billed at flat fees. Payment structures are discussed upfront so you understand all potential costs.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the marital estate (including property and debt), level of conflict, and whether litigation is necessary. Simple cases may resolve in a few months, while contested property that’s subject to division can take a year or longer.
