Denver Family Attorney
Property Division Divorce Lawyer in Colorado
The property division process of a divorce is something that has to be done, but it can be as simple or as complex as needed. In some cases, both parties know exactly what items belonged to each person and with the help of their Denver divorce attorney, they split the remaining items right down the middle. Other cases are not so easy though and many are downright heart breaking.
At the first stage of property division, you will be required to sit down with your spouse and your Denver divorce lawyer and discuss your assets. You will need to agree on what assets were obtained through the marriage and are, thus, applicable to division. You will also need to agree on the value of all property involved so it may be fairly distributed. If your spouse appears to be hiding assets, we may contract investigators or forensic accountants to uncover any hidden or lost money or property.
When you and your spouse cannot work out equitable distribution between yourselves and your attorneys of family law in Colorado, you will be required to seek the help of the District Court. The court will first look at all of the marital property and then assign value to it. The court will then divide property according to what is considered fair. They will take into consideration how much each spouse has contributed to the marriage -homemaking is taken into consideration as well. They will evaluate the value of the property each spouse has already laid claim to. They will then take a look at to the economic circumstances of each person at the time. In most cases, the spouse who maintains child custody will be granted the home. Your Denver divorce attorney can help you get the most out of this courtroom process.
