Sell Your Divorce House Fast in Colorado

Colorado is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property — including the family home — is divided fairly but not necessarily equally under C.R.S. § 14-10-113, which directs courts to consider each spouse's contribution, economic circumstances, and the value of separate property when making a division. The home is generally considered marital property regardless of whose name is on the deed if it was acquired during the marriage, and Colorado's mandatory 91-day waiting period after filing means no divorce can be finalized before that window closes. If both spouses agree to sell the home, they can typically proceed without court approval, but if one spouse objects, a motion must be filed in the district court's domestic relations division, and a judge can order the sale or impose a temporary injunction preventing either party from encumbering or transferring the property unilaterally. Getting ahead of the process by agreeing on a sale price, splitting proceeds, and closing before the final decree can simplify the division and often avoid costly litigation over appraisals and buyouts.
