Dividing Property: At The Core Of Divorce

Property division is typically one of the most significant aspects of divorce. At the Law Offices of Shawn H. Smith, we are committed to helping our clients understand how Colorado divorce laws apply to their cases while ultimately helping them protect what they value most.

Helping Our Colorado Divorce Clients Safeguard Important Property And Assets

Our lead attorney, Shawn H. Smith, has spent over a decade skillfully representing men and women throughout the Fort Collins and Greeley area. He handles a wide range of divorce cases involving simple and complex assets.

In Colorado, marital property is divided between spouses in an equitable manner – meaning fair, not necessarily equal. However, many cases result in a fairly equal division of marital property.

Marital Property Versus Separate Property

Marital property is any property acquired during the course of a marriage unless it is separate property. This may include:

  • Residential property (homes, vacation homes, farms)
  • Businesses (commercial property)
  • Vehicles
  • Investments and retirement accounts
  • Pensions
  • Personal savings accounts
  • Debt (credit cards, medical, mortgages)

Separate property is any property acquired by gift, by inheritance or prior to the marriage. An increase in the value of separate property during the marriage is marital property. Separate property may be converted into marital property if the separate property is placed into both names.

More than anything, we want to help you obtain satisfying property division results in your divorce. Our Fort Collins property division attorney will work with you to protect your assets and help you build a case that will provide proof of your separate property. In addition, we can assist you with your concerns involving commingled accounts, hidden assets and other financial matters.
