Frequently Asked Questions
How are assets divided in a high-asset divorce?
In divorce cases, Colorado law requires that property be divided equitably. However, equitably does not necessarily mean equally. While some couples are able to reach an agreement outside court, high-asset divorce often requires outside expertise. Our family law team can help you work through these financial matters.
One important concept to understand is the difference between “separate” and “marital” property.
- Separate property is anything that you owned before getting married, or received as a gift/inheritance during the marriage
- Marital property typically refers to anything acquired during the marriage
The distinction between separate and marital property is clear. However, matters can quickly become complicated in cases where separate property increases in value during the marriage. In such a case, that increase might be considered marital property. Separate property could also become marital property if you mix funds by putting inheritance money into a joint account, for example.
In cases where the spouses cannot agree on who the property belongs to, the judge will decide, considering factors like:
- Each spouse’s financial situation
- The value of property each spouse is getting
- Who will live in the family home, especially in cases where children are involved
- How separate property has changed in value during the marriage
- Whether separate property was used for marital expenses
How can I protect my business in a divorce?
Protecting a business starts with a thorough valuation. We work with financial experts to determine an accurate value and then develop strategies to protect your interest. This may involve negotiating a buyout of your spouse's share or demonstrating that the business is separate property. Our goal is to minimize disruption to the business.
What if I suspect my spouse is hiding assets?
If you believe your spouse is concealing assets, our Longmont team will conduct an investigation. We have experience identifying hidden income, offshore accounts, and undervalued assets. Using a variety of legal tools and financial expertise, we work to ensure all assets are properly disclosed and accounted for in the divorce proceedings. Our goal is to provide you with a complete and accurate picture of the marital estate.
