Marital Agreements in Arapahoe County
Marital agreements in Colorado must follow certain rules in order to be valid and enforceable.
These rules include:
- The agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties
- The agreement must be created without pressure or duress on either party
- The parties have been given time and access to their own separate attorneys in order to thoroughly understand what is being agreed to
- If a party does not access an attorney, he or she signs a Notice of Waiver, waiving the right
- A fair, accurate, and complete disclosure of all assets, property, and debts is made by both parties
- The agreement is not excessive or unreasonable nor does it violate public policy
Such agreements are especially beneficial to individuals bringing large or complicated assets or considerable debt into a marriage, including retirement accounts, businesses, and business interests, as well as those with children from previous marriages. These agreements can outline how such assets and debts will be assigned and distributed, can ensure that children from previous marriages retain specific inheritance rights, can specify the matter of spousal support, and specify other financial responsibilities and rights. Certain issues cannot be specified, such as child custody or child support matters, and should not be included.

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 -
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 -
