Disclosure of Income, Assets, and Debts

During the 90-day waiting period, both parties are required to provide full disclosure to the other party concerning all assets and debts with respect to all separate and marital property. Colorado law requires that each party shall provide to the other party:

  • A completed, notarized financial affidavit
  • Federal and state tax returns for the last three years
  • Pay stubs for the last three months including a year-end pay stub
  • Tax returns for the last three years for any business in which the parties are involved
  • Any and all statements concerning retirement accounts

Additionally, parties are required to provide documentation disclosing the existence of all assets and debts. A full list of the disclosures required is located at: http://www.courts.state.co.us/chs/court/forms/domestic/jdf1125.doc

The financial affidavit is one of the most important documents you will encounter in this process. The financial affidavit reflects a party’s income and expenses. It also contains information concerning the value of all assets.

Once the disclosures are complete and each party is fully aware of the assets and liabilities of the marriage and each other, it is possible to divide the marital assets through negotiation and compromise. In the event that the parties are unable to settle the case and a court hearing is required, the Court will carefully review the financial affidavits in an attempt to understand and determine numerous financial issues, including the issues of maintenance, child support, division of assets and debts and award of attorney fees.
