Overboard: How to Avoid Sinking in Your Colorado Family Law Case Written by Denver Family Law Attorney Myles S. Johnson

Divorce doesn’t have to be dramatic. For the litigants, losing your spouse is significant enough. But you can choose the way it affects your daily life. The only guarantee I can give is that the feeling that you have right now will not be the feeling you end with. This is a season in your life, and it must be approached that way.

frequently asked questions High net worth divorce

  • How Do I Keep the Most Money in a Divorce?

    One way to keep the most money in any divorce is to have a clear understanding of your finances and assets. You should know:

    • The value of your assets
    • The assets that are your sole property
    • The assets that are considered joint marital property by the state

    An experienced divorce attorney can help you identify all the marital assets you have a legal claim to. These include any easily overlooked assets or accounts or those that a spouse acting in bad faith has tried to hide. While this can be a tense and emotional time, remember that divorce is not about one spouse harming or humiliating the other. It is about ensuring that everyone is treated fairly and in accordance with the law. That way, everyone can move on with their new lives.

  • Is a Spouse Entitled to a 401(k) in a Colorado Divorce?

    That depends on when the 401(k) was established and the circumstances under which it was funded. In Colorado, a divorcing person may indeed be entitled to a portion of their ex-spouse’s 401(k) or other retirement accounts. However, the account must have been funded during the marriage. Therefore, an old, fully funded 401(k) from before the marriage and in one spouse’s sole name is not joint marital property, unless it had been:

    • Restructured
    • Switched to a joint account
    • Added to from marital funds during the marriage

    Other retirement accounts are indeed considered marital property. The court will consider several factors when dividing these sorts of assets. These include the length of the marriage and each spouse’s contribution to the account and the marriage.

  • Who Gets the House in a Colorado Divorce?

    In Colorado, the court will consider several factors when determining who gets a shared familial residence, and any other relevant real estate, in a divorce. These factors may include:

    • The length of the marriage
    • The financial resources of each spouse
    • The contributions of each spouse to the marriage

    In some cases, one spouse may keep the house while forfeiting certain other assets to the other. In others, the house may be sold off so that the proceeds can be fairly divided between the spouses.

  • How Do I Protect My Retirement in a Divorce?
    One way to protect your retirement in a divorce is to ensure that you have a clear understanding of all your retirement accounts and assets. You will want to work with an attorney who understands both estate planning and family law. This can ensure that you are holding assets in the most beneficial form for your unique situation. They can also help you negotiate a fair divorce settlement that accounts for your personal retirement needs and goals. Additionally, you may want to consider a legal instrument called a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO). This can divide retirement accounts in a way that minimizes tax penalties and maximizes your share of the assets. A QDRO is a versatile tool that can also be implemented in cases where spousal support enforcement is needed.

Income Changes and Support Modifications After

When calculating child support in high net worth divorce cases, the income of each parent is crucial. Determining child support in these cases can be a challenging equation for the court to balance. The parties involved may have a high income or own multiple businesses. They may also have other types of complicated, high-dollar investments.

Support modifications can be made if there is a substantial change in circumstances in the future, such as:

  • A significant increase or decrease in one party’s income
  • A change in the child’s needs
  • A major lifestyle change that affects the circumstances under which the original order was handed down

The attorneys at Johnson Law Group can help you navigate the support modification process. We can ensure that any modifications are made in full accordance with the law. We can also ensure that these are not done at the undue expense of you or your children.
