You may want to consult with an attorney to respond to your HOA to dispute the HOA's overreaching attempt to enforce the convents.
The HOA only has the power specifically granted to it in the HOA documents.
They tell me I need to pay 650 dollars to make our home legal. We have a coo.
Dear County Compliance questioner: I'm afraid that your defense "it's been unlawful for a long time" is not adequate for you to avoid the Colorado Municipal Law pertaining to the County's jurisdiction over unpermiited structures. To perhaps smooth over your anguish about... Read more »

An HOA claims they can enforce a lower height limit than usual, or a larger setback than usual, to keep us from building a house too close to a neighbor's view corridor (even though the neighbor thinks our proposed plan is fine). We are aware that a view easement can be purchased to protect a... Read more »
It is possible for an HOA to have this authority. But, it is also common for HOAs to overstep the limits of their authority. I recommend contacting an attorney who represents homeowners against HOAs to review any documents, HOA Covenants, bylaws, rejection letter, recorded easements, etc. and... Read more »
Signed standard contract with builder in Colorado with a firm cert of occupancy date. Builder missed date but obtained before we sent termination letter. Are we due our earnest money, builder is withholding.
Maybe. There is no such thing as a "standard contract with a builder." But, your rights WRT claiming that the builder breached by missing the contractual deadline for delivery and your remedies are going to be dependent upon the language in the contract. I recommend that you have an... Read more »
Signed a contract to build house in Colorado. Received Association doc's after deadline. When received we approved. Before closing the Association approved new covenants. When we received these new doc's we terminated the contract within the 10 days. Are we due our earnest money?... Read more »
The Association docs you reviewed and approved probably set out the process for the Association to approve new covenants. If that process was followed and all took place after you approved the Association docs, then you probably cannot avoid the obligation to either close on the sale or lose your... Read more »
If she physically stayed there overnight, stored belongings there, on a regular basis, then she is a tenant. That is she is an occupant in possession. She does not need a formal lease contract, especially where you do.
Also, because of my disability child support has not pursued me for quite some time now
A child support lien can be placed on a real property asset regardless of the age of the support case.
If you have asked them to leave and they refuse you'll need to evict them via the judicial system. This starts with legally sufficient notice.
If you are unfamiliar with the process I recommend that you contact an attorney to discuss the process, maybe help you with a proper notice,... Read more »

I recently discovered that a couple years ago the home on the property was destroyed in a wildfire. He collected 130 thousand dollars in insurance money is what... Read more »
I am not sure what you mean be "Abstract of Judgment". Usually you record a "Transcript of Judgment" in order to effect a lien on real estate. That needs to be renewed every 6 years. If you had a valid lien on the property, it may still be in effect. If not, you may be still... Read more »

I have left the community. I would like to quit claim the property and avoid the years long cost and harassment
Dear Recipient of Fraud Lawsuit by HOA: The general legal premise is that a FRAUD claim (or termed "cause of action", once a lawsuit is filed) is PERSONAL in nature. That means the cause of action survives the transfer of property, and a Quitclaim Deed transfer of the underlying property... Read more »
Our farm is in Garfield County Colorado. We have crossed the fence for years but I'm afraid neighbors may try and claim our land as theirs. I keep opening the gate for passage but now there's a lot of stuff wired over the gate opening from the far side of the fence, but still on our... Read more »
You either move the fence or acquiesce to the present fence being the boundary. You need an attorney to conduct title searches on both properties, and possibly file a Boundary Line Dispute. You will probably need a survey by a Surveyor who can testify in Court. You seem to know that the other... Read more »
The new owner got a bill and wants me to pay half. I did not know the roof was damaged when I sold the townhouse.

Never filed quitclaim. All debt and proceeds of house are mine. Let on he wants half of sale
You may need to go back to Court to ask the Court to enforce the Divorce Decree. The court could hold him in contempt of court with a penalty of jail time.
It may be faster if you consult an attorney who could send a Demand Letter on your behalf and engage the Courts if needed.
This depends on exactly what the divorce decree says. Do you get half of the profit or does she just need to refi/sell? You should consult with an attorney to review your paperwork and advise you how best to proceed.
