Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

In the state of Colorado, if two people are filing for divorce but have been separated (living apart, but not legally separated) for more than six months before the divorce was filed and have already divided all assets, do they still need to list all bank accounts, debts, etc. on the "Sworn Financial Statement" paperwork, or would they claim to not have any assets?

You do need to prepare and file the sworn financial statement and the certificate of compliance with mandatory financial disclosures, but you could file a pretty limited separation agreement in that case (I think it's always good to have a separation agreement, even if it just says, in effect "we have divided all assets on our sworn financial statements already." You always want to state that neither party wants maintenance, if that is the case, as if you don't state that, the court could come back possible and award it later. We assist with form preparation and consulting about your case and the process, to get you through it efficiently, for $595 (without kids) and $795 (with kids) if you want some assistance. I hope this helps.
