Gray Divorce in Boulder: Google Campus & Startup Ecosystem
If you're over 50 and facing divorce in Boulder, custody battles aren't your concern—your children are grown. Instead, you're dividing Google stock options, startup equity, and Boulder homes worth $800K-$2M+ under Colorado's equitable distribution.
Boulder combines Google's major campus with thriving startup ecosystem and University of Colorado.
Your Spouse's Tech Equity Could Be Worth More Than Your Boulder Home. Do You Know What's Yours?
RSUs. Stock options. Startup equity. Deferred compensation. You've heard these terms for years. You know they're valuable.
But do you actually understand what they are? Which ones have vested? Which ones vest after separation? What portion is marital property under Colorado law? How are they taxed when exercised vs. when divided?
Your spouse has lived with these compensation statements for years. They understand vesting schedules, exercise windows, and tax implications.
You're seeing these documents for the first time — while negotiating a settlement that could be worth hundreds of thousands.
Tech compensation isn't magic. It's complicated — but complicated has solutions. You need someone who can decode the offer letters, translate the vesting schedules, and show you exactly what's yours under Colorado equitable distribution.
The difference between understanding tech equity and not? It can easily be $100,000-$300,000 in your final settlement.
