Dividing Oil, Gas & Farm Property in a Weld County Divorce
Weld County is one of Colorado’s largest oil and gas producing counties, sitting atop the Wattenberg Field, and it’s also the state’s top agricultural county. That combination means a Greeley divorce can involve property most divorce lawyers rarely see — mineral rights, oil and gas lease royalties, and working farmland, each of which needs to be identified and valued on its own.
Royalty income and mineral interests don’t always show up on a bank statement, and farmland often comes bundled with equipment, water rights, and family business interests. Our Greeley attorneys have experience protecting these assets in marital property division, including how Colorado values a closely-held business in a divorce.

Greeley Divorce FAQs
How long does it take to get divorced in Greeley?
Colorado law requires a minimum 91-day waiting period from the date your spouse is served before a judge can finalize your divorce. Simple, uncontested cases in Weld County are often resolved close to that timeline, while contested cases involving custody, mineral rights, or farm property can take several months to a year or more.
Do I have to live in Greeley to file here?
You don’t need to live specifically in Greeley, but at least one spouse must have lived in Colorado for 91 days before filing. Most Weld County residents file in the 19th Judicial District, based at the Weld County Courthouse in Greeley.
How are oil, gas, and farm property divided in a Weld County divorce?
Mineral rights and oil and gas royalty interests are treated as marital property if acquired during the marriage, and they often require specialized valuation separate from the land itself. Farm and ranch property adds equipment, water rights, and sometimes a family business to the mix. Our attorneys work with valuators experienced in these asset types.
Is mediation available for Weld County divorces?
Yes. Many Greeley couples resolve their divorce through mediation or collaborative divorce rather than litigation. Our attorneys represent clients in mediation and help review or negotiate the final settlement agreement.
How is property divided in a Colorado divorce?
Colorado is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. Courts consider each spouse’s financial contribution, economic circumstances, and the value of separate property when dividing homes, land, and other assets.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
It isn’t legally required, but even amicable divorces involve decisions — property division, retirement accounts, parenting time — that are difficult to undo once finalized. Many clients hire an attorney simply to review or draft the paperwork correctly the first time.
