In Re the Marriage of Wells

Supreme Court of Colorado

Decided April 12, 1993No. 92SC113Published

1DissentChief Justice Rovira

The majority holds that “section 14-10-113(l)(c) requires a trial court to consider the economic circumstances of the respective spouses at the time any hearing relating to the division of marital property is held, including a hearing following a remand for the purpose of dividing the property between the parties.” Maj. op. at 696 (emphasis added). Because I believe such a holding is contrary to both the plain meaning of section 14-10-113(l)(c), 6B C.R.S. (1987), and the Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act as a whole, I respectfully dissent.
