What you're up against
Colorado custody law was not written for parents to understand alone
These are the questions we hear most from parents in Denver, Colorado Springs, Greeley, and Fort Collins during their first call.
Parenting Time — “How much time will I actually get with my kids?”
Colorado courts talk about parenting time schedules, not weekends and holidays. Without guidance, parents often accept a schedule that does not reflect their real relationship with their children.
Decision-Making — “Who decides on school, doctors, and everyday life?”
Decision-making responsibility can be joint or sole, and the difference shapes years of parenting. Most parents do not know this is negotiated separately from where the kids sleep.
Relocation — “Can I move for a job or a fresh start?”
A new city, a new job, or moving closer to family can trigger a legal fight if a parenting plan is already in place. Parents need to know their options before they make a move, not after.
Cost — “Can I afford to fight for my kids?”
Legal fees feel like one more thing standing between a parent and their children. This is the single biggest reason Colorado parents wait, and waiting rarely helps a custody case.
