Colorado Complex Property Division Lawyer
Colorado is a marital property state, not a community property state like California. This means that in Colorado, all property that comes into a marriage is considered marital property and is subject to equitable distribution in the event of divorce. Equitable distribution means fair.
It is important to understand that "fair" does not necessarily mean fifty-fifty, because in divorce, as in life, fifty-fifty is not always fair.
Are you worried about your financial status following divorce? Talk to an experienced Colorado family law attorney who can clearly explain your rights, your obligations and the steps you should take to safeguard your financial future.

As a lawyer who has been in general practice for more than 20 years, I have the ability to see a client's situation from several different angles, not just from a family law perspective. I have significant experience in business law, for example, which benefits my divorce clients who have family-owned businesses that must be factored into property division. In highly complex cases, I work to bring in outside financial, accounting and tax experts for assistance.
