Every divorce is different. In Colorado divorces, it is very common for the court to divide assets equally between the spouses. However, where there are sufficient assets, the court may divide assets disproportionately in lieu of a maintenance payment so as to sever the financial ties between the parties. In many cases, the division of assets and debts is settled outside of court. Parties who settle outside of court usually experience less stress and acrimony.

Is Colorado an Equitable Distribution State?
Yes, Colorado is an equitable distribution state. That means the court is compelled to distribute property in a matter that is "just and right," but not necessarily equal (as we mentioned before).
For example, let's say that you and your spouse share children, but you get sole custody of them. The court may award you the marital home and disregard your spouse's investment in that property to make caring for your children easier.
Property division is often the most contentious aspect of a divorce because it can impact other divorce-related processes, such as child custody, support, and alimony.

Kevin D Murphy was my lawyer for my divorce which was very very complicated and multifaceted more so than your average divorce. He is very professional and is able to break down complicated legal jargon into a single comprehensible format. Mr. Murphy always showed up on time and professionally dressed. He always kept me updated me as soon as he got new information in the divorce. A divorce is a very long and stressful ordeal. Mr. Murphy took the stress out of the entire situation and had my back at every point in the divorce. I was able to call and or email him 24-7 365 with any questions comments or concerns always promptly replied to the phone call or email with all the information I needed and then some. Mr. Murphy was an advocate for me and my children and facilitated the best possible outcome of the divorce. Mr. Murphy sent me a well documented monthly invoice with all of the fees associated which always checked out. He was worth every penny, and also is a pleasure to be around he's very charismatic and very experienced. To list a few of the items that Mr Murphy did are as follows.
1. He sat down with me and took the time to establish my sworn financial statement that a corporate accountant could go through with a fine-tooth comb.
2. He set up a private investigator.
3. He helped triangulate between child support payments and the payment registry as well as triangulate with the child support enforcement office technician.
4. He recommended and gave excellent tax advice for the fiscal year of which we got divorced which was very complicated.
5. He triangulated with CPS caseworker and local sheriff's involved.
6. Here ran background checks on Associated individuals involved.
7. He was able to pull from all of the information I had given him and extract what he needed to write very professional legal documents.
These are just some of the skills that mr. Murph has. His attention to detail is amazing he caught things that I totally missed. If you are going through a divorce I would personally and only recommend Kevin D Murphy he is a multi-tasker extraordinaire and truly a subject matter expert at what he does. He has improved me and my children's quality of life significantly and alleviated the stress out of the whole entire situation.- Anonymous -
Kevin was an awesome attorney. He took my case when I was at the end of my rope, I couldn't figure out where to turn, what to do, and had a court date pending. Mr. Murphy exceeded every expectation I had of him, and of any lawyer. He always had time to talk to me, he was quick with response, and even after it was all over he went above and beyond with the final issues I had. I can't recommend him enough, I feel like he was able to handle all attorneys involved in the case and didn't take any of their posturing. After months of being told what to do, how to do it, when I can see my kids and when I can't all at the whim of my ex and her lawyer, someone stood up and fought for me, and kept fighting for me. Kevin is definitely the lawyer I want in my corner for any future issues that come up.- Clint

Kevin Murphy is a reliable lawyer. He understands the law and worked diligently on my case. I felt comfortable with decisions that were made, and Kevin always kept me updated on a regular basis. He responded promptly to my calls and emails; and he made me feel comfortable and secure during a child custody process that is, in most cases, stressful. I would definitely recommend Kevin Murphy for all Family and child custody cases.- Havilah

They were very professional and more than willing to listen to exactly what I am looking for and were very clear about the steps I needed to take!- Maggie D.

I had the most difficult task of filing for divorce this year. To say that divorce is devastating is an understatement. Kevin was so kind, and really took the time to listen to me, my needs and my wants. The meetings were conveniently scheduled, and he kept them as short as possible.
Kevin was also very communicative regarding the process and what needed to be done. He would simply ask me for the information needed, and fill out all of the long and complicated paperwork for me. He also did an amazing job explaining the paperwork, what it meant and what my rights were.
On top of this, I also moved out of state. Even from 1500 miles away, the communication was amazing, and I never felt uninformed.
Thanks to Kevin, this experience was far from the nightmare I expected. Working with him was a pleasantry, even though the circumstances were less than ideal.- Katie -
I worked with Megan Fiesinger and Christian Cunningham extensively over the course of almost a year in order to resolve issues that arose during my separation and divorce. I couldn’t imagine a more competent, diligent, and supportive team than the two of them, and at the end of the whole process, I found that everything they said and did was for the best. In the end, divorce is never positive, but Megan and Christian helped me secure THE most favorable outcome that was even possible.
Beyond that, they understand how emotional and chaotic the whole process can be, which is why they provide more than just legal support - they help you stay calm and in control so you can make the right decisions.
Additionally, they were supremely thorough in explaining my options and tradeoffs. That meant I spent way less on legal fees than I expected because they were perfectly willing to advise me NOT to give them money that wouldn’t ultimately contribute to a better outcome for myself. Their advice was always solely for my benefit.
I couldn’t recommend a better team than the folks at Alex White’s firm, and specifically Megan and Christian.- Andrew R.
