Many fathers don't think they have any rights when it comes to child custody and visitation. If you are a father in a divorce or custody battle, know that you have rights and should not give up easily. Even if you and your former spouse or mother of your child have reached an agreement, you should consider competent legal advice. After all, you deserve the best possible arrangement with your child.

Equal Parenting Time and Tender Years Doctrine
Colorado advocates the tender years doctrine. This means that if you were involved with your children, you are entitled to equal parenting time with the mother. Contrary to popular belief, children don't have to live with the mother. However, every case is decided on its individual facts.
The history of your interaction with your child from the time they were born to the present is an important factor. Your case can be severely impacted if you have not been involved in your child's life. This also includes any incidents of domestic violence and child abuse. Other criminal convictions, alcohol and drug use could affect parenting time. Courts are very protective of the interests of the child, especially young children. Fortunately, if you can show rehabilitation on your part, we can advocate for your rights as the father. This is why you need the assistance of an experienced lawyer who can fight on your behalf.
