Dana retains you, a Licensed Legal Paraprofessional, to handle her dissolution of marriage. Dana and her husband, Mark, have one child, age 6. Dana earns $4,500/month gross; Mark earns $7,500/month gross and recently quit a $9,000/month job, saying he wants "time to think." The parties own a marital home with equity, Mark has a 401(k) accumulated during the marriage, and Dana inherited $60,000 during the marriage that has grown to $75,000 in a separate account. Mark insists a prenuptial agreement he asked Dana to sign the night before the wedding controls the property division; Dana wants to challenge it. The parties will share parenting roughly equally.
Identify the issues, the applicable Colorado law, what you can and cannot do as an LLP, and how each issue should likely be resolved.
Two matters are carve-outs outside an LLP's authorized scope under C.R.C.P. 207.1: (1) the dispute over the prenuptial (marital) agreement, and (2) preparation of a QDRO to divide Mark's 401(k). Advise Dana to consult an attorney for the prenup challenge and the QDRO, while continuing on the in-scope portions under C.R.C.P. 207.1(i) — and advise her of the limits of the LLP license (LLP RPC 1.2, the duty to disclose scope limits).
Confirm the 91-day Colorado domicile and the 91-day waiting period before a decree may enter (C.R.S. 14-10-106). Ensure Rule 16.2 mandatory financial disclosures are exchanged (Sworn Financial Statement), noting the continuing duty and the 5-year reallocation remedy for nondisclosure (C.R.C.P. 16.2(e)).
Colorado is an equitable-distribution state (C.R.S. 14-10-113). The marital home equity and the marital portion of the 401(k) are marital. Dana's $60,000 inheritance is separate, but the $15,000 appreciation during the marriage is marital (C.R.S. 14-10-113(4)). The prenup's enforceability is outside scope; refer it out. In scope: the agreement dividing the home and ordinary accounts — but not the QDRO.
Because the parties share roughly equal time, determine whether each has at least 93 overnights (Worksheet B) or not (Worksheet A). Mark quit a $9,000 job; if he is voluntarily underemployed without an exception, impute potential income based on employment potential and probable earnings (C.R.S. 14-10-115(5)(b)). Add adjustments for child care and the child's health insurance.
If requested, run the advisory guideline; it is advisory and the court must make findings (C.R.S. 14-10-114). Compute maintenance first and adjust incomes before the child support worksheet.
Proceed in scope on dissolution mechanics, parenting, child support, maintenance, and the ordinary property division; refer the prenup dispute and the QDRO to an attorney; document the scope advice to Dana.
Graders look for: spotting BOTH carve-outs (prenup + QDRO) and the duty to advise of scope limits; correct property characterization — especially that appreciation of separate property is marital; the imputation analysis tied to Mark quitting a higher-paying job; the 93-overnight Worksheet A/B question; and the advisory maintenance formula with the maintenance-before-child-support order of operations. A strong answer continues on in-scope work rather than withdrawing entirely.
Authority: C.R.C.P. 207.1; C.R.S. 14-10-106; C.R.C.P. 16.2; C.R.S. 14-10-113; C.R.S. 14-10-115; C.R.S. 14-10-114
Lee and Jordan are divorcing after a 15-year marriage. Lee earns $10,000/month; Jordan stayed home raising children and now earns $2,500/month part-time. Combined income is under $240,000/year. The marital estate includes a home, retirement accounts, and a brokerage account Lee opened before the marriage worth $50,000 at marriage and $200,000 now (funded partly with marital earnings during the marriage). Jordan suspects Lee has not disclosed a year-end bonus.
Analyze maintenance, the characterization of the brokerage account, and Jordan's disclosure concerns.
Combined income is under $240,000, so the advisory guideline applies (C.R.S. 14-10-114): 40% of the higher earner's monthly adjusted gross income minus 50% of the lower earner's = (0.40 × $10,000) − (0.50 × $2,500) = $4,000 − $1,250 = $2,750/month advisory. For a 15-year marriage, the guideline term is a percentage of the 180 months married under the statutory schedule. The guideline is advisory — the court must make findings on the statutory factors: the 15-year duration, Jordan's homemaker role, the marital lifestyle, Jordan's lower earning capacity and retraining needs, and the property awarded. A long marriage with a large income disparity supports a substantial award.
The $50,000 Lee brought into the marriage is separate property, but two categories are marital: the appreciation during the marriage on the separate portion (C.R.S. 14-10-113(4)) AND any growth attributable to marital funds contributed during the marriage. Tracing separates the premarital corpus from the marital appreciation and contributions; the marital component of the $200,000 is divided equitably. Lee bears the burden of tracing the separate portion.
Rule 16.2(e) imposes an affirmative, continuing duty of full and honest financial disclosure. The bonus is income and an asset that must be disclosed via the Sworn Financial Statement and supplements. If Lee conceals it, the court may impose sanctions, may reallocate the omitted asset on a motion within 5 years of the decree (C.R.C.P. 16.2(e)(10)), and may draw adverse credibility findings. Request documentation — pay records and employer statements — to confirm the bonus.
Expect meaningful maintenance given the marriage length and disparity; divide the marital portion of the brokerage account after tracing; pursue full disclosure of the bonus. All issues here are within LLP scope.
Graders reward: correct application of the 40%/50% formula AND recognition that it is advisory with required findings, plus the duration tied to a 15-year marriage; precise property analysis — premarital corpus separate, but in-marriage appreciation and marital-funded growth are marital, with Lee bearing the tracing burden; the Rule 16.2 affirmative, continuing disclosure duty and the 5-year reallocation remedy for the hidden bonus; and naming the homemaker-contribution and lifestyle factors.
Authority: C.R.S. 14-10-114; C.R.S. 14-10-113(4); C.R.C.P. 16.2(e); C.R.C.P. 16.2(e)(10)
