Colorado Military Divorce Laws

Colorado law treats military retirement pay as marital property, meaning that it is subject to division in a divorce. The court may use the Hunt/Gallo formula to divide military retirement pay, which takes into account the length of the marriage during the service member’s active-duty service. The Hunt/Gallo formula for dividing military retirement pay can be complex, and it is important to have an attorney who understands how it works.

Also, when it comes to military retirement pay, there are several other benefits that may be at issue in a military divorce, such as:

Survivor Benefits Plan (SBP): The SBP allows a service member to assign a beneficiary to receive a portion of their retirement pay after their death. The court may order a service member to continue to pay SBP premiums for their ex-spouse, even if they are not awarded a portion of the retirement pay.
Tricare health insurance: Ex-spouses of service members may be eligible for Tricare health insurance if they meet certain requirements.
Base privileges: Ex-spouses of service members may be eligible for certain base privileges, such as access to the commissary and exchange.

Many individuals enter mediation with misconceptions that can hinder the process. One frequent misunderstanding is that a mediator will provide legal advice. In reality, mediators facilitate communication but do not counsel or advocate for either party. This is why having an attorney with sophisticated mediation experience is crucial—they can provide the legal insights necessary to make informed decisions about complex financial arrangements, tax implications, and long-term consequences.

Another misconception is that mediation is only suitable for amicable divorces. In fact, mediation can be especially beneficial in contentious cases, particularly those involving high-conflict personalities or complex asset division. Our team’s experience with high-stakes family law matters means we know how to structure mediation sessions that keep discussions productive even when emotions run high. By focusing on solutions rather than conflict, mediation encourages positive communication and can lead to a more satisfactory resolution for both parties.

The “Simple Divorce” Myth: Many couples assume that mediation is only for “simple” divorces. However, our experience shows that mediation can be particularly valuable for complex cases involving:

High-net-worth asset division requiring sophisticated financial analysis
Business valuation and ownership disputes
Interstate custody arrangements
Cases where one spouse has significant government benefits or pension complications

Our team’s diverse backgrounds—from IRS experience to judicial clerkships—ensure that complex issues are properly addressed during mediation rather than becoming post-settlement problems.
