Dividing property during a divorce can be one of the most complicated and stressful parts of ending a marriage. When significant assets, investments, real estate, or business interests are involved, the process becomes even more challenging. Understanding your rights and protecting your financial future requires careful planning and knowledgeable legal guidance.
At Scurlock Family Law, we help individuals in Fort Collins and throughout Larimer County navigate property division and high-asset divorce matters. Whether you are facing a complex financial situation or need guidance regarding marital property, our team is committed to helping you understand your options and make informed decisions.
Colorado is an equitable distribution state. This means marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily equally, during a divorce. Courts consider the circumstances of each marriage when determining how property should be distributed.
Generally, marital property includes assets acquired during the marriage, regardless of which spouse holds legal title. Separate property, such as certain assets acquired before marriage or received through inheritance or gifts, may be excluded from division.
However, the distinction between marital and separate property is not always straightforward. Separate assets may become partially marital through commingling, appreciation, or contributions made during the marriage.
Understanding these distinctions is essential when determining what property may be subject to division. Our team helps clients identify relevant assets, evaluate potential property claims, and understand how Colorado law may apply to their circumstances.
At Scurlock Family Law, we assist clients with a wide range of property division matters, including:
High-asset divorces often involve financial considerations that extend beyond dividing bank accounts and real estate. This can also include business valuations, investment portfolios, stock options, deferred compensation, and complex retirement benefits.
Since accurate financial information is essential, outside professionals such as financial experts, business valuation specialists, or forensic accountants may be helpful in identifying and evaluating assets. At Scurlock Family Law, we help clients navigate this, alongside the legal issues involved in complex property division in the divorce process.
