How Can We Help You?
Creating Parenting Plans that Work for You & Your Children
If parents cannot come to a mutually agreeable resolution regarding a parenting plan and the allocation of their parental responsibilities, the courts will intervene and make decisions on their behalf. For this reason, we always encourage our clients to act cooperatively with one another. Legal disputes are sometimes unavoidable, but in every case, we do everything in our ethical power to help make certain you keep your parental rights and honor the best interests of your children.
Does Colorado Use Joint Custody and Solo Custody?
In the state of Colorado, there is no joint or sole custody. Rather, Colorado uses the phrase “parental responsibility” which may be either joint or primary. Joint parental responsibility refers to a situation when you and your former spouse share overnight visitation with your child equally. One parent is considered to have primary parental responsibility if their former spouse shares less than 90 overnight visitations with the child.
Does Child Custody Affect Child Support?
While the decision concerning child custody may be a factor in determining support obligation, it is not the primary factor. In Colorado, child support is based on gross monthly income and other significant expenses.
What is a Parenting Plan?
A parenting plan is a specified plan that parents submit to the court that outlines factors such as parenting time, holiday visitations, and more. It’s required that both parents understand the terms that are in place for the official parenting plan.
When Determining which Parenting Arrangements are in the Best Interests of the Child, the Court may Consider Many Different Factors, Including:
- The wishes of the parents and the child
- Cars, boats, motorcycles, etc.
- The parent’s ability to provide care for the child
- The ability of the parents to cooperate or make collaborative decisions
- The child’s interactions with parents, siblings, grandparents, or other important relationships
- Any indicators of child abuse, child dependency and neglect, or
possible abduction.
Our firm provides thorough, attentive, and driven representation for every case that we handle. When the stakes are high and your parenting, visitation, or custodial rights are in question, we work hard to protect your family and prevent future legal conflicts.
