Cryptocurrency is one of the easiest assets to overlook in a divorce, and one of the hardest to hide well.

It does not show up on a standard asset statement the way a bank account does. There is no monthly paper statement arriving at the house. That leads some people to assume it is invisible.

It is not. Exchange records, tax filings, and bank transfers into an exchange all leave a trail. So do wallet addresses once they are identified.

If you believe there are digital assets in your marriage that have not been disclosed, say so early. Discovery tools exist for exactly this, and they work better when they are pointed in the right direction from the start.

A prenup is not a prediction that your marriage will fail.

It is a conversation about money that most couples never have until they are forced to, usually at the worst possible moment.

What a marital agreement can do in Colorado: define what stays separate property, address how you handle debt each of you brings in, and set expectations around a family business or inheritance.

What it cannot do: decide child custody or waive child support. Colorado courts will not enforce that, because those decisions belong to the child's best interests at the time, not to an agreement signed years earlier.

The couples who handle this well treat it as planning, not as suspicion.

Colorado does not have a seven year rule for common law marriage.

That number gets repeated constantly and it is not in the law. Living together for a decade does not automatically marry you, and living together for two years does not automatically protect you either.

What Colorado courts actually look at is whether you two held yourselves out as married. Joint finances. Shared last names. How you introduced each other. Whether you filed taxes together.

It matters because if a court finds a common law marriage existed, you get a divorce, property division, and potentially spousal support. If it finds there was none, you may walk away from a long relationship with nothing.

If you are not sure where you stand, that is worth a conversation before it becomes a dispute.

Marital agreements do not weaken a marriage. They document one. 💍

The couples who sit down and put things on paper before they get married are usually the couples with the clearest, calmest conversations about money for the rest of their marriage.

What a well-drafted Colorado marital agreement gives you:

→ A shared understanding of what each of you brings in and what stays separate
→ Rules for how future income, business growth, and inheritances get treated
→ A framework that survives a court's review because both sides had counsel and disclosure was honest

The strongest agreements are the ones nobody ever has to enforce. They just quietly do their job in the background of a healthy marriage. If that is something you want to explore, send me a message. 💬

Colorado has updated the child support statute - the biggest overhaul in more than a decade. 🚨

If your existing order is more than a few years old, the calculation the court would use today may look meaningfully different from the one you have on paper.

The point is not to run every existing order back through the system. It is to know:

→ Whether your circumstances have changed enough to justify a modification
→ Whether the new framework helps or hurts you
→ Whether it is worth the time and cost to open the case back up

Modifications are not automatic. Someone has to file. If your income, the other parent's income, or the parenting schedule has changed materially, it is worth a conversation. Send a message. 💬

Common law marriage in Colorado catches a lot of people off guard. ⚖

It is real. It is legal. And if it applies to you, the divorce process, property division, and support obligations look the same as any other marriage.

The court is not counting years - it is looking at intent and conduct. Did you both mean to be married. Did you present yourselves that way. Did you share the things married couples share.

Three signs a court will pay close attention to:

→ Joint tax returns filed as married
→ Referring to each other as spouse in official documents
→ Sharing accounts, deeds, or beneficiary designations

If you want to know how your relationship might be characterized - before a court ever has to - send me a message. 💬

Does your family law attorney actually understand crypto? 🧠

It is a fair question to ask. Digital assets are not going away, and the rules around discovery, valuation, and division are still evolving. An attorney who has never worked a case with meaningful crypto exposure will miss things - sometimes expensive things.

Questions worth asking any lawyer you are considering:

→ How do you approach discovery on self-custody wallets
→ How do you fix a valuation date on a volatile asset
→ How do you handle assets held on foreign exchanges
→ How do you preserve records when the other side controls the keys

If the answer is a shrug or a vague reference to sending a subpoena, keep looking. Your case is too important for that.

Front Range Family Law works crypto cases regularly. If you have questions about your situation, send a message. 💬

Crypto assets are showing up in more Colorado divorces every year. 🔍

If either spouse has traded, held, or received crypto during the marriage - even in small amounts - it is marital property and it belongs on the disclosure schedule. Missing it, on purpose or by accident, is a fast way to lose credibility with a judge.

What a careful discovery process looks at:

→ Exchange accounts (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance and the smaller ones)
→ Self-custody wallets and hardware devices
→ Bank records showing transfers to and from exchanges
→ Tax returns and 1099s that document trading activity
→ Communications that reference specific assets

Valuation matters too. Crypto moves fast. The date the value is fixed for division can change the outcome materially.

If crypto is part of your marital estate, work with a lawyer who understands the asset class. Send me a message. 💬

The most romantic thing you can do is talk about money before you get married. 💍

That is not the version of romance most people are sold. But couples who sit down early and answer the practical questions tend to build stronger marriages, not weaker ones.

A well-drafted marital agreement is a chance to talk through:

→ What each of you is bringing in - assets, debts, family businesses
→ How income and any future business growth should be treated
→ How you want to handle inheritances and family wealth
→ What a fair outcome looks like if something goes sideways

Nobody plans on divorce. Everybody benefits from clarity. If you are engaged or thinking about it, the conversation is worth having on your terms - not the terms a court would impose later. Send a message when you are ready. 💬

The seven-year common law marriage rule is a myth. 🚫

I hear this one every week. Someone says: we lived together seven years, so we must be common law married. Or the reverse: we have only lived together three years, so there is no way we could be.

Neither of those is how Colorado law actually works. The number of years does not decide anything.

What Colorado courts look at:

→ Whether both people intended to be married
→ Whether they publicly held themselves out as a married couple
→ Whether their conduct - shared finances, shared name, joint filings, family introductions - matches that of a married couple

You can be common law married after eighteen months if the intent and conduct are there. You can live together for a decade without ever being common law married. It is not about the calendar.

If you are trying to establish, or protect against, a common law marriage in Colorado, send me a message. 💬
