Achieving the Right Parenting Time Solution

Legally speaking, the term for child custody in Colorado is now "allocation of parental decision-making responsibility." The courts differentiate between decision-making responsibility and parenting time, and judges tend to favor joint decision-making by both parents for important areas of the child's life such as education, religion, and health care. However, when appropriate, courts will grant sole legal custody to one parent. This means that one parent will have full authority to make important decisions on behalf of the child. Often, the parents will agree on the allocation of parental decision making. If they cannot agree, the court can impose a solution. In that situation, a strong presentation of the facts by an attorney may succeed in achieving your goals. If you are the superior parent, we must devise a strategy to convince the court that your children should live primarily with you. Often it is appropriate to have an evaluator review the circumstances of where the children should live and report to the parties and to the court.
