2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 2 - Marriage and Rights of Married Persons|Part 2 - Rights of Married Persons|§ 14-2-207. Spouse May Convey Lands as if Unmarried

 A person, while married, may bargain, sell, and convey his or her real and personal property and enter into any contract in reference to the same as if he or she were unmarried.   History.

ANNOTATION   At common law, a married woman could convey her estate only by fine and recovery. Keller v. Klopfer, 3 Colo. 132 (1876).   Under the early law, it was provided that to convey her lands a married woman should unite with her husband in making the conveyance, that she should acknowledge the same, separate and apart from her husband, that the officer hearing the acknowledgment should certify that the same was made upon examination separate, apart from, and out of the presence of her husband, and that the contents, meaning, and effect of such deed were by the officer fully explained to the wife. Keller v. Klopfer, 3 Colo. 132 (1876); Nippel v. Hammond, 4 Colo. 211 (1878); Knight v. Lawrence, 19 Colo. 425 , 36 P. 242 (1894).   Under present law, the married woman is in law deemed capable of managing her own affairs, and she has the power as well as the right to convey her real estate without let or hindrance from any one, and she requires no protection, and she suffers no restraints, in such matters. Knight v. Lawrence, 19 Colo. 425 , 36 P. 242 (1894); Wells v. Caywood, 3 Colo. 487 (1877); Colo. Cent. R. R. v. Allen, 13 Colo. 229 , 22 P. 605 (1889).   It was the intention to clothe her with all the rights of a femme sole. Scott v. Mills, 7 Colo. App. 155, 42 P. 1021 (1895).   The wife may make conveyance directly to her husband and the removal in respect to the wife of a disability that is mutual, and springing from the same source, removes it also as to the husband, and the husband may, acting in his own right, convey directly to the wife. Wells v. Caywood, 3 Colo. 487 (1877); O'Connell v. Taney, 16 Colo. 353 , 27 P. 888 (1891); Rose v. Otis, 18 Colo. 59 , 31 P. 493 (1892); Kellogg v. Kellogg, 21 Colo. 181 , 40 P. 358 (1895); Scott v.

In the nature of things and in the legislative mind, the husband and wife both possess the character of a householder and head of a family, at least to the extent to enable either of them owning the home they occupy to designate it as a homestead. McPhee v. O'Rourke, 10 Colo. 301 , 15 P. 420 (1887).

2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 2 - Marriage and Rights of Married Persons|Part 2 - Rights of Married Persons|§ 14-2-208. Married Person May Contract

 A person, while married, may contract debts in his or her own name and upon his or her own credit, and may execute promissory notes, bonds, bills of exchange, and other instruments in writing, and may enter into any contract the same as if he or she were unmarried. In all cases where any suit or other legal proceedings are instituted against the married person and any judgment, decree, or order is rendered or pronounced against the married person, the same may be enforced by execution or other process against the married person as if he or she were unmarried.

ANNOTATION   At common law a married woman, though living apart from her husband, could not make a binding contract except for necessaries or for the benefit of her separate estate. Ferrand v. Beshoar, 9 Colo. 291 , 12 P. 196 (1886).   In equity, before the statutes of 1872 and 1874, the written contract of a married woman, for the benefit of other persons, was not a charge upon her separate estate unless it contained an express provision to that effect. Ferrand v. Beshoar, 9 Colo. 291 , 12 P. 196 (1886).   By the act of 1861, to protest the rights of married women, a wife could make contracts respecting her separate business and estate, but beyond these limits her contracts were governed by the common law and were therefore void, and she could not warrant her husband's title to realty, or covenant for his act or default in any respect whatever. Holladay v. Dailey, 1 Colo. 460 (1872).   In an action on contract against a married woman, a plea of coverture, without more, is not sufficient in law as a defense. Rose v. Otis, 18 Colo. 59 , 31 P. 493 (1892).   Where the husband was joined as a codefendant with his wife in the district court, he not being a party to the contract sued upon, and no relief having been demanded against him in the complaint, it was held that upon default judgment should have been entered against the wife alone. Wilbur v. Maynard, 6 Colo. 483 (1883).

Editor's note:   In 2003, this section was formerly numbered as § 14-5-102 , and the former § 14-5-103 was relocated to § 14-5-104 .   COMMENT   Subsection (a) provides for the identification of the tribunal or tribunals to be charged with the application of this act.   Subsection (b) performs the same function for the support enforcement agency or agencies. By its terms it indicates the legislature may designate more than one entity as authorized to enforce a support order, including a private agency. To clarify, federal law and regulations require that each state designate a “single and separate organizational unit” as the state agency that is charged with administration of the state plan and is authorized, and funded under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. Known throughout the United States as the as the “IV-D agency,” it may delegate any of its functions to another state or local agency or may purchase services from any person or private agency. The IV-D agency, however, retains responsibility for ensuring compliance with the Title IV- D state plan. Moreover, by virtue of the receipt of a federal subsidy, the agency is subject to federal regulations. The legislature may also decide to provide services unrelated to, or not funded by the Title IV-D system. For example, the state legislature could identify (and fund) a private agency authorized to enforce a spousal-support order not involving child support, or could fund a public defender system to provide counsel for indigent defendants in IV-D cases.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 5 - Uniform Interstate Family Support Act|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 14-5-105. Application of Article to Resident of Foreign Country and Foreign Support Proceeding

  A tribunal of this state shall apply parts 1 through 6 of this article and, as applicable, part 7 of this article, to a support proceeding involving:   A foreign support order;    A foreign tribunal; or    An obligee, obligor, or child residing in a foreign country.       A tribunal of this state that is requested to recognize and enforce a support order on the basis of comity may apply the procedural and substantive provisions of parts 1 through 6.    Part 7 of this article applies only to a support proceeding under the Convention. In such a proceeding, if a provision of part 7 of this article is inconsistent with parts 1 through 6 of this article, part 7 of this article controls.     History. Source: L. 2015: Entire section added,(HB 15-1198), ch. 173, p. 546, § 4, effective July 1.    COMMENT   Four distinct entities are defined as a “foreign country” with tribunals that enter a “foreign support order.” Section 102(5). With regard to the three types of proceedings identified in subsection (a), all of the provisions in this act in Articles 1 through 6 apply. Note, however, that under subsection (c), only one of these, a country “in which the Convention is in force with respect to the United States,” Section 102 (5)(D), will be subject to Article 7 as well as Articles 1 through 6. Thus, a support order from one of these countries may require special attention. After the Convention comes into force in the United States, a body of case law may develop if it becomes necessary to resolve unanticipated differences between this act and the Convention. As this extensive commentary and the many cross reference to provisions of the Convention indicate, significant efforts have been made to avoid any such conflicts.  See see  Under subsection (b) a tribunal of this state may apply principles of comity if appropriate to recognize a support order from a foreign nation state that does not fit the definition of a “foreign country,” Section 102(5)(A)-(D), .  see supra  Subsection (c) resolves that if terms of the Convention and the terms of this act, including Article 7, are in conflict, the provision of the Convention controls. With regard to the other three statutory definitions of a “foreign country,” all the terms, this act in articles 1 through 6 control. After the Convention comes into force in the United States, a body of case law may develop to resolve unanticipated differences between this act and the Convention.

 Personal jurisdiction acquired by a tribunal of this state in a proceeding under this article or other law of this state relating to a support order continues as long as a tribunal of this state has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify its order or continuing jurisdiction to enforce its order as provided by sections 14-5-205 , 14-5-206 , and 14-5-211 .

L. 2003: Entire section amended, p. 1244, § 4, effective July 1, 2004.    COMMENT   It is a useful legal truism after a tribunal of a state issues a support order binding on the parties, which must be based on personal jurisdiction by virtue of , 436 U.S. 84 (1978) and , 354 U.S. 416 (1957), jurisdiction in personam continues for the duration of the support obligation absent the statutorily specified reasons to terminate the order. The rule established by UIFSA is that the personal jurisdiction necessary to sustain enforcement or modification of an order of child support or spousal support persists as long as the order is in force and effect, even as to arrears, Sections 205-207, 211, . This is true irrespective of the context in which the support order arose, e.g., divorce, UIFSA support establishment, parentage establishment, modification of prior controlling order, etc. Insofar as a child-support order is concerned, depending on specific factual circumstances a distinction is made between retaining continuing, exclusive jurisdiction to modify an order and having continuing jurisdiction to enforce an order, Sections 205 and 206, . Authority to modify a spousal-support order is permanently reserved to the issuing tribunal, Section 211, .  Kulko v. Superior Court Vanderbilt v. Vanderbilt see infra see infra infra

 Under this article, a tribunal of this state may serve as an initiating tribunal to forward proceedings to a tribunal of another state, and as a responding tribunal for proceedings initiated in another state or a foreign country.   History. Source: L. 93: Entire article R&RE, p. 1585, § 1, effective January 1, 1995. L. 2015: Entire section amended,(HB 15-1198), ch. 173, p. 548, § 6, effective July 1.    COMMENT   This section identifies the two roles a tribunal of the forum may serve: acting as either an initiating or a responding tribunal. Sections 304 and 305 for the duties and powers of the tribunal in each of these capacities. Under UIFSA, a tribunal may serve as a responding tribunal even when there is no initiating tribunal. This accommodates the direct filing of a proceeding in a responding tribunal by a nonresident of the forum, whether residing in a state or anywhere else in the world. Note, however, that the section does not deal with whether an initiating tribunal of a state may forward a proceeding to a tribunal in a foreign country, which may be left to the individual support enforcement agency.
