Colorado Disclosure

Completeness is what finality is made of.

The Sworn Financial Statement anchors the exchange; the certificate of compliance proves it happened; the duty to supplement keeps it honest — and THE FIVE-YEAR REOPENER polices all of it: misstate or omit a material asset and the court keeps jurisdiction to reopen the property division for five years after the decree.

THE FIVE-YEAR REOPENER

If a material asset or liability is misstated or omitted in the disclosures, Colorado courts retain jurisdiction to REOPEN and reallocate the property division for FIVE YEARS after the decree — no fraud showing required by the rule's own terms. In re Marriage of Durie (2020 CO 7) confirms the provision's reach. A separation agreement clause purporting to waive this is the platform's Colorado OCP trap.

C.R.C.P. 16.2(e)(10) · dossier-verified doctrine; the rule text is print-official — deferral named above

The deferral, named.

C.R.C.P. 16.2's consolidated text is print-official (LexisNexis) — no official web rendition exists, so this platform does NOT quote the rule. What follows is organizing information verified against the CO-0 dossier and the official JDF instructions; the rule itself controls. Verify current requirements with the clerk or the official JDF 1129 instructions.

The practice shape (JDF 1111 anchors it)

Sworn Financial Statement (JDF 1111) — each party, early in the case

The SFS is the disclosure spine; supporting schedules attach where assets warrant.

Certificate of Compliance with the mandatory disclosures

Filed to show the exchange happened; the JDF instructions carry the current timing.

The early-exchange window (commonly ~42 days from service or co-petition)

Timing is stated by C.R.C.P. 16.2 and the initial-status-conference machinery — verify the operative dates with the clerk; this platform will not quote a print-official rule.

Supporting documents (income, accounts, real property, debts, insurance)

The categories track the SFS lines — completeness is what the reopener polices.

The continuing duty to supplement

Disclosure is not a one-shot filing; material changes re-trigger the duty.

The injunction interplay

The automatic temporary injunction (C.R.S. § 14-10-107) binds both parties from filing/service — transferring or concealing property while disclosures are pending violates the injunction AND arms the five-year reopener.
