As part of the divorce and legal separation process, the court will divide marital property; therefore property division is typically one of the most significant areas of a divorce. Marital property is any property acquired during the course of the marriage, regardless of how it is titled, unless it is separate. Marital property often includes:
- Residential property (to include marital home, vacation homes, farms)
- Commercial property
- Vehicles
- Businesses
- Investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement plans, bank accounts)
- Pensions and retirement (including military retirement)
- Bank accounts
- Debts
Colorado is an equitable distribution state, meaning every marital asset must be distributed equitably. However, equitable does not necessarily mean an equal split will occur.
Separate property is generally any property acquired prior the marriage and property acquired by gift or inheritance. Separate property may become marital property if separate property is placed into both names (commingled).
Our family law attorneys have extensive knowledge and experience in complex property division, and are experts at providing a client-focused experience while driving toward the goal of obtaining the best results possible.

Every attorney will tell you they put their clients first. That is true for Aviso Law but it’s how we go about it that sets up apart. We understand the difference between being prepared and aggressive in courtrooms, while being understanding and pragmatic in client meetings. We believe in being realistic as well as easy to work with through all the phases of your case, both in and out of court; this saves you money and time while still receiving the service you deserve with the goal of achieving desired results.
