Determining Marital Property & Debt

Dividing property and debt starts with determining what is marital property and what is marital debt. Essentially everything accumulated during the marriage falls into one of these two categories. What was accumulated before the marriage may be separate property and separate debt, allocated to the appropriate party in a divorce. Of course, there are numerous exceptions – but our experienced property division lawyers in Colorado Springs are here to clarify everything.

These matters become complex when a piece of property has aspects of both marital and separate property. For example, a house bought before the marriage is separate property. However, if that house increased in value during the marriage, that additional value is considered marital property. Our lawyers know how to sort through all these complex matters.

Equitable Distribution

In most courtrooms in Colorado, a 50/50 division of property is presumed. However, the law does not require equal distribution – it requires equitable distribution. The court will carefully assess your situation to determine what is fair for both parties.
