Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado
Does husband have to share settlement
My husband is part of a class action suite (malpractice) and will most likely be given a healthy settlement. During the time he was ill many of our debts were not met and our relationship suffered. I am concerned that when he gets this settlement he will take it and leave. Am I entitled to any part of this money? We have 3 kids and a mortgage.

Yes, the settlement is marital property and subject to division in divorce.
