Colorado goes by "equitable division" of property... basically they factor everything in and try to make it "fair" for everyone.
Her having a place to live and a job to support herself helps you immensely. She is entitled to 50% of everything aquired DURING the marriage and even temporary alimony if she earns significantly less than you... but if she is dead set on getting the house... she needs to give up part of her claims elsewhere... I can't imagine a competent lawyer allowing you to take the initial offer... it is ridiculous.

Again thank you so much, I believe I will check around for a different lawyer
