Do Fathers Have an Equal Right to Child Custody in Colorado?

Legally married, common law married, or simply mothers and fathers, Colorado wants to give the same legal rights to both parents. Each situation is unique, and each parents’ capabilities are unique, and often one parent becomes the primary caregiver and primary decision maker for those children. Often, men in divorce proceedings perceive that the legal system is stacked against them. That’s where the attorneys at Divorce Matters can really bring value to the situation. It is important that men have an attorney that can present their side of the story, their facts, and their evidence to a judge to establish their rights. In Colorado, men have often been determined to be the primary caregiver, just like women can become the primary caregiver. It may be more difficult, but it is extremely important to find good quality representation in this area to get a fair outcome for the men, as well as the women.
