Denver Divorce Lawyer: Infidelity

Does infidelity matter when filing for divorce in Colorado?

Infidelity has played a role in many high profile, and not-so-high profile divorce cases. Prenuptial & postnuptial agreements are often written to protect the assets and property of one spouse in the event of the other spouse committing an act of infidelity. The state of Colorado, however, is considered to be a no fault state when it comes to divorce. This means that neither spouse needs to provide a specific reason for requesting the divorce, or dissolution of marriage, and most courts do not even entertain the mention of infidelity during divorce proceedings.

There are certain instances, however, in divorce cases which take place in Colorado, where infidelity may hold some relevancy. If one spouse is cheating on the other spouse and using marital funds in order to buy jewelry, go on vacations, and provide other extravagances, then those acts of infidelity can be used to balance out the assets & debt division between spouses. Another instance would be if one spouse was using marital funds to support his or her mistress/mister, then that information could impact alimony/maintenance payments.

One last area where infidelity may play a part in a Colorado divorce, is when it affects the children from the marriage. It is important to consult with a Denver divorce attorney from Feldmann Nagel, LLC, if you suspect your spouse has been cheating on you. Our attorneys will thoroughly review your case, help you determine if, and how, your spouse's infidelity could impact your divorce, and advise you on how best to proceed.
