- Q. Can I potentially fight for more custody given what was in the CFI report ?
- A: Dear Denver: You can use the CFI report to support your positions. The critical point which the Court will be seeking to determine is whether the conduct of either party negatively impacts the child(ren) at issue, and if so, how to best deal with such conduct. Paul M. Gaide, Esquire
- Q. Married in Colorado. I bought house before we were married it's in my name. IAM the only one that works.
- A: Generally speaking, in a dissolution of marriage case in Colorado, the Court must determine if assets are "property," and if "property," the Court must then determine if the property is "separate" or "marital," before allocating "marital" property to the parties. From what you have said, I have no doubt that the Court would find the residence to be "property," and if you have maintained the property solely in your name, the Court would allocate it to you as your "separate" property, but for any appreciation in the value of the property since the date of marriage. Your spouse would have a claim to an equitable portion of the increase in value of the property since the date of marriage, if any.
- Q. Do you have to disclose all credit cards on sworn financial statements?
- A: All debts must be disclosed. Whether the other party has "negative income" may or may not be relevant to whether you will be able to obtain an order for attorney fees. The Court will take all factors into consideration, including, without limitation, the division of assets and liabilities. Collection of a judgment may be a different issue. As for your "activity" question, the response may well depend on whether there is an agreement or Court Order on the subject, or may depend on whether the activity will pose an unreasonable risk of injury to the child, etc. More cannot be said without additional facts.
