Who gets house in divorce Colorado?
Colorado is a marital property state, meaning that the courts seek to fairly divide your marital assets between both spouses in a divorce. Generally speaking, that will include the home you purchased with your spouse. Everything you own ends up classified as either marital property or separate property.
Is Colorado a mom State?
Colorado does not have joint custody or sole custody. Colorado uses the term parental responsibility – which can either be joint or primary. If a parent has less then 90 overnight visitations with the minor child, the other parent is considered to have primary parental responsibility.
Can one spouse evict another?
The Court can Order your spouse evicted from the home and restrain him or her from entering or coming near it. Under Divorce and Matrimonial Property Laws, it does not matter if one of you leaves the home or who leaves first, a person does not lose their rights to the property or to financial support by leaving.
Can a woman kick a man out of the house?
She cannot kick him out by calling the police and saying she wants him out, but she can file, in the District Court, a lawsuit called a Wrongful Detainer. A Wrongful Detainer can be filed whether or not two people are married. We offer free consultations for most divorce cases.
