Separate & Marital Property

Denver Separate Property Attorneys

Every divorce case involving property requires the classification of assets as marital or separate. Generally, marital assets are those which were acquired during the marriage, regardless of how they were acquired or titled. Separate property consists of assets owned before the marriage or acquired by gift or inheritance. Moreover, some assets may be a combination of separate and marital property interests.

Optimizing The Task Of Marital Property Division

While separate property cannot be divided between spouses in a divorce, any increase in value or appreciation attributable to separate assets can be divided between spouses.

Likewise, separate and marital assets are sometimes commingled, creating difficult and complex problems in the division of property. Spouses claiming separate property interests have the burden of proving that these assets should not be included in the marital property estate.
