There were no details included about division of assets in my dissolution of marriage paperwork, what does that mean?

A little over a week ago I was served dissolution of marriage papers in Denver,
CO. We have no children and do not own any property. I was expecting to see
some detail surrounding division of financial assets, but there were none. Does
this mean that she does not want to split anything that we have, or is that
something that will be handled once I sign and return the paperwork?

I would caution you to take the paperwork to an attorney to review asap.  Is it just a Summons and Complaint?  Does it not say something asking the court to decide who gets what?  It should.  If it is the entire paperwork then it should also have in there something about who gets what, or else it is never decided.  Do not sign anything.  Go seek legal help.  Good luck.
