Now that our marriage is over, who gets to keep the house?

Answered by attorney Brent R. Chipman
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Brent R. Chipman
The disposition of real property is an issue handled in the divorce proceeding. If your parents have an agreement with you and your wife to repay them for the down payment, that could be addressed in the orders issued by the divorce court. If you purchased the home prior to the marriage, there may be an argument that your wife is entitled to less than one-half of the equity in the home. You may be awarded the home, but required to pay an amount to your wife representing part of the equity in the home.

It is obvious that, in fact, your husband has "abandoned" your marriage. But, that has no legal significance whatsoever in Colorado.

How do you qualify for annulment in Colorado?

First, you need to understand that the basic process of having the marriage declared invalid (Colorado no long has "annulment") is no easier or simpler than divorce. Second, without more detail it isn't possible to determine whether your situation qualifies for asking a court to declare the marriage invalid. But, because there are time limits for some reasons, it is important that you consult an attorney in person as soon as possible to find out your options.
