In Colorado, when courts evaluate rental income for purposes of spousal maintenance (alimony), they generally focus on the *net* income produced by the property—not simply the gross rent collected each month. That means legitimate expenses associated with maintaining the rental property, such as mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, management fees, and other operating costs, are often deducted before the court determines the actual income available to the property owner. This distinction is extremely important because a property generating substantial monthly rent may produce far less usable income after expenses are accounted for. An experienced Colorado family law attorney can help ensure the court receives an accurate financial picture so maintenance calculations are based on realistic cash flow rather than inflated gross revenue figures.
