Which person files for divorce has nothing to do with how assets are divided. You should consult with an attorney.

You are entitled to 1/2 of the assets acquired during the marriage, including real property, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement, unless there was a prenup or something was purchased with separate money. See an attorney for advice.

Colorado is a "no fault" state; that means if you no longer want to be married, you can get the divorce. The specific terms and conditions of the financial issues will need to be resolved by agreement with your spouse or rulings by a judge.

Given your current circumstances, there being no children, and apparently limited property a divorce should be relatively easy. You're entitled to half of the accumulation, and also the liability for half of the debts which have been incurred during the course of your marriage. See an attorney.

Dissolution is no fault. Who initiates the proceeding is irrelevant. The community property will still be divided equally. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator to get started and advise you about the process.

Regardless of which party seeks the divorce, the court is required to "equitably" divide community property assets and obligations. The complexity of the divorce depends on whether the parties agree on the nature of their property/debts and how to divide those things or whether the parties need the court to intervene to address these issues. I recommend you consult with an attorney to address your questions in greater detail.

The short answer to your question is you are entitled to one-half of every asset acquired during your marriage. It does not matter, unless you have signed some type of waiver, whether the asset is in his name alone or held jointly. On the flip side, you are legally responsible for one half of the dept acquired during your marriage. The specific answer to your questions depends upon the facts and circumstances surrounding your marriage.

If there is no children, no marital property and no debt, then yes, we can get you divorce fairly quickly.

Divorce is never easy, but sometimes it can be quick and relatively painless.
