Marital Property Division Lawyer
Dividing Assets and Debts
Colorado is not a community property state; it is an equitable division state. That means that each spouse will be awarded what is fair under the circumstances. The definition of what is fair, of course, can differ between spouses. At Keane Law in Boulder, your divorce attorney can explain the equitable division concept and the factors the court uses to make decisions.
We provide property division information.

While dividing properly fairly sounds simple enough, dividing a marital estate at the time of a divorce has become an increasingly complex process. In addition to dividing real and personal property, you may also need to examine and evaluate issues relating to business interests, retirement accounts, pension plans, and stock options — all with an understanding of tax ramifications. When dividing a marital estate a court may consider the following:
- Length of the marriage
- Assets and debts of the parties
- Financial needs and liabilities of the parties
- Premarital or prenuptial agreements
- Separation agreements
- Tax consequences
Your property division lawyer can help you determine the worth of all assets, find assets that are not immediately obvious, determine outstanding debts, and recommend an equitable distribution of property. We will work with you to negotiate a settlement with your spouse. If necessary, we will litigate on your behalf.
