No divorce settlement final in CO now per 4th Dist

09/19/07 07:51 AM

THIS IS a WINNER!
You should know that Judge Ronald G. Crowder, (4th District CO, Elpaso County) recently allowed a 14 year old closed divorce case to be reopened to allow a woman to get a new life insurance policy (additional property benefits) that she FORGOT to ask for when she originally divorced her military husband!! Yes, despite not having an insurable interest (as per case law) and no right to re-open a painfully and fully negotiated closed property settlement--that was incorporated into a Final Order for Dissolution (as per case law), the ex-wife was NOW granted the right to get insurance on her ex-husband of 14 years ago---because Judge Crowder allowed himself to testify in the case by saying: "I don't see what the big deal is... I gave it to MY wife when I divorced her... it shouldn't take that long to do an examination." He overruled every argument made based on facts and the LAW---and based his decision solely on his OWN personal experiences! See September 5, 2007 decision in 93DR0266. The effect of this wonderful decision is that NO DIVORCE CASE IS EVER CLOSED IN COLORADO! The parties can now keep coming back to ask for benefits---even when the benefit was NOT an existing property issue...OR even if the parties had competent counsel! If you forget to ask for anything---SBP, Life Insurance, permanent alimony, future earnings(even if you had a lawyer, even several) you can NOW come back and ask for MORE $$$$$!!

(This kind of thing has been denied in Colorado for decades... and denied in other jurisdictions---because it is against the law and against public policy---but NOT in Judge Crowder's court room)!

This is very serious!
