Silt, CO Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You might be able to get the court to give him less marital property because of this conduct. Most likely, you will each end up effectively paying half when you divide the matial property. If you have real estate and kids involved in the case, you really should at least be consulting with a lawyer about what you are agreeing to, your rights etc. I spend probably 33% of my practice fixing pro se divorce agreements. You should not be going it alone and it does not need to be expensive to have an attorney - I actually do many cases on a consulting basis and many others for a flat fee. Feel free to call me for a free initial consultation if you have questions. I hope this helps. 

To be charged with contempt, you must have the ability to comply with a court order.  If you have lost your job or have no income, it is not likely that your Ex can prove that you have a present ability to pay child support. Additionally, it sounds like you may want to file to modify child support.  Generally, a party is imputed income at a rate at which they reasonably could, should or have earned, or their "potential income."  In your case, one would expect your Ex to be imputed at the amount he would make at his new career field.  Additionally, some expenses you pay, including daycare expenses, should be included in the child support calculation by statute.  see C.R.S. 14-10-115 regarding child support guidelines.
