Thank your for choosing our firm for help with Colorado divorce laws for division of property. 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.
