Operation of Colorado bankruptcy laws

In practice, occupation of a home requires a physical presence of the debtor on a regular basis. Problems arise because of multiple tracts, absence from the state, and divorce proceedings which fracture the application of domicile rules. Clarifying both domicile and residency through a written designation prevents surprises. If the validity of a homestead exemption is in question, written agreements and designation provide many debtors with a solution. Note: Absence from the country because of military service can not form the sole basis of abandonment.
