Q. I got offered a buyout amount for a jointly-owned condo in Estes Park Colorado, I was wondering if it is fair and just.

April 21, 2023

A: Any offer, including this one, needs to be considered in light of the whole financial picture. More information is needed. What is the source of her $12,000.00? How long ago was this done? How long have you been married? What would be the net proceeds if the property was sold? What is the cost of going to trial? how much better (or worse) could you do if you went to trial? Does it "feel fair" to you? You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
