Aggressive, High Quality Representation for High Asset Divorces in Colorado
Divorce under any circumstances involves emotional and financial risks, and parties to a dissolution of marriage need legal counsel experienced in both the legal and financial aspects in order to see that all matters are addressed appropriately.
This is especially true in cases where your marital estate is large or complex. In such cases it is critical that you are represented by an office with the resources and experience to promote your interests. Only when working with a lawyer with the appropriate experience can you be sure that all the elements of your estate, and that of your spouse, will be properly identified as individual or marital property; that business shares, retirement benefits and real estate holdings are accurately valued; and that your divorce settlement agreement addresses the division of shared assets in a way that maximizes the benefits of available tax and investment options.
Because Colorado is not a community property state, the law requires only that the distribution of assets be "fair and equitable" as opposed to an even split. While many disputes can be handled through mediation, Mr. Sandoval is an experienced trial attorney who is well prepared to aggressively pursue your interests through litigation when necessary.
Issues to be addresses in a high marital asset divorce include the following:
-
Investment accounts and securities
-
Pensions, IRAs, 401Ks, and other retirement accounts
-
Valuation of stock, including closely held businesses
-
Spousal support/maintenance - the court will award this depending on factors including the length of the marriage, earning ability, and other factors
-
The location and valuation of hidden assets
