Complex Marital Estates

Colorado Complex Divorce Cases - Denver Marital Estate Attorneys

If you're involved in a Colorado divorce that will involve complicated questions of marital property valuation or division, contact the Denver divorce attorneys at Inman Flynn. Our experience with the equitable distribution of extensive marital estates can represent a significant advantage to you in the negotiation, arbitration, or litigation of marital property issues.

Where the marital property includes family business assets, substantial investment properties, or extensive retirement or pension benefits, problems of valuation and characterization can compound the difficulty of dividing the assets between the spouses. Our family law attorneys, with the support of forensic accountants and lawyers from Inman Flynn's other practice areas, will perform the factual investigations and legal analysis essential to advancing your position in negotiations or proving it in court.

Colorado law does not recognize community property as such, but instead divides the marital estate under principles of equitable distribution. As a result, the appreciation in value during marriage of each spouse's premarital separate property is part of the marital estate, and must be considered in the division of complex marital property.

Other issues to be considered in complex divorce cases include:

  • Enforceability of a prenuptial agreement
  • Location and proof of concealed assets or unlawful transfers from the marital estate
  • Injunctions or restraining orders to preserve the value of family business assets
  • Stipulations for binding arbitration so that marital finances, personal or business property values, and contested issues remain private
  • Protecting the privacy of clients in high-asset divorces through alternative dispute resolution

The Colorado divorce attorneys of Inman Flynn have substantial experience with both the negotiated resolution and the successful litigation of property division issues involving multimillion-dollar marital estates.
