Colorado Prenuptial Agreements

A Colorado prenuptial agreement is governed by the UPMAA (C.R.S. §§ 14-2-301 to 14-2-313). It requires a signed record, voluntariness, access to independent counsel (or a conspicuous plain-language waiver), and adequate financial disclosure.

Equitable distribution

How Colorado divides property.

Colorado divides marital property equitably. It has adopted the Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act (UPMAA), which sets clear requirements for an enforceable agreement.

WealthGuard builds your agreement around these rules — so it’s tailored to Colorado, not a generic national template.

What Colorado requires

Access to counsel or a plain-language waiver

The UPMAA requires that each party have access to independent legal representation; an unrepresented party must receive a conspicuous, plain-language notice of the rights waived (C.R.S. § 14-2-309).

Maintenance terms tested at enforcement

A waiver or limit on spousal maintenance or attorney fees is unenforceable if it is unconscionable at the time of enforcement.

In writing and signed

The agreement must be a written contract signed by both parties before the marriage.

Full and fair financial disclosure

Each party should fully disclose assets, debts, and income. Inadequate disclosure is a leading reason agreements are later thrown out.

Voluntary, without duress

Both parties must sign freely — not under pressure, and with enough time to review. Last-minute, eve-of-wedding signings invite challenges.
