- Q. In Colorado is a spouse entitled to monies from the SBA covid business loan in a divorce?
- A: The loan can only be used for certain business purposes and is not marital property to be divided in a dissolution.
- Q. Would my husband and I be able to get/keep custody of his daughter if he enlists in the military?
- A: Courts determine who should have primary custody of a child by applying a number of best interests factors. The fact that you and he have been caring for the child for a year weighs in your favor. There is no clearcut answer as to whether military service impacts a child custody analysis. It depends on the individual case and what each of you can offer to the child as a parent proposing primary custody in areas such as education, contact with the other parent, contact with extended family, etc.
- Q. Can I move out of (CO) state with my son?
- A: You would have to have the other parties cornet or a court order.
