Colorado Child Custody Laws
Your number-one question is probably what happens to the kids? In Colorado, child custody and visitation is legally known as "allocation of parental decision-making responsibility." The law separates this into "decision-making responsibility" and "parenting time." Parenting time is about "how much" time each parent gets with the child. Decision-making is the fundamental right you have to make choices for your child critical to their well-being; an example is where a child should go to school.

Joint decision-making is favored by the courts. This means that both parents would help make decisions regarding things like education, religion and health care. However, in less common circumstances, such as domestic violence or abuse, courts will grant sole legal custody to one parent, giving one parent total authority to make the decisions.

If parents cannot come to an agreement, the court can impose one. That is why it is important that you have an experienced attorney who can effectively represent the facts in your favor. The child custody attorneys at our law firm can negotiate on your behalf, mediate and be an aggressive litigator if necessary.

Modification of Child Custody
If there is a change in circumstances, such as parental relocation or one party decides to move away, we can represent you in modifying a custody order. If there has been a domestic incident, we also have experience in getting orders for protection.
