 Question: I was married in Colorado, but we have lived in Mexico for 6 years. My wife now wants a divorce and I’m currently back in Colorado.
In Mexico, we own a piece of property, which is in both of our names, but the condo on the lot was never put in my name.
Do I have any rights to this home though my name isn’t on it, and it’s in a foreign country? Does it matter that all my investments are in Mexico?

Question:
I received a large sum of money through gifts and inheritance and have kept it in separate accounts. They have not been co-mingled into the marriage so my spouse cannot touch it in the event of a divorce. I now have it in CD's but would like to invest the separate money into other investments, mostly into real estate with a little put into stocks and bonds. Can I do this and still be assured that the separate money I put up and any appreciation from the investments will still remain separate property and not subject to division in the event of a divorce? Would putting the separate property, gifts, inheritance, and real estate I owned before the marriage into a trust help in any way?

Question: My wife is not on the title but is on the loan. It was my house and when we refinanced, the title company did not include her on the title, just on the loan. We have only been married three years and she brought money into the marriage from the sale of her house. Since the money was comingled, she wants half of the farm. Can we fight that and win? She already wants $750 per month for child support and lots more money from splitting assets. I had the farm six years before we got married and prior to refinancing, was on both the title and the loan. Answer: It is difficult to say for sure that you can fight this and win. It is totally dependent on the documentation that you can provide to back up your claim of separate property. At minimum, she will be entitled to one-half of the appreciation in the equity of the farm. I think you can preserve the separate nature of the remaining interest, but you will have the burden to produce all the documentation and information to prove that you had no intent to make the farm marital property by refinancing.
