In Denver, Colorado, marital property in a divorce includes all assets and debts acquired by either spouse during the marriage, except for those classified as separate property. Marital property can encompass a wide range of items such as homes, cars, furniture, savings accounts, retirement accounts, and even debts like mortgages and credit card balances.
Separate property, which is not divided during a divorce, typically includes assets acquired before the marriage, gifts received by one spouse, and inheritances, though the increase in value of these assets during the marriage may be considered marital property.
