DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR ABUSE
An act of Domestic Violence or Abuse is specifically defined by Colorado law. Whenever parties in a divorce, legal separation or custody case have facts which reveal Domestic Violence or Abuse, a court may enter orders affecting the rights of both parties. In many instances, a court will want to know the full nature of all such abuses, whether a party has been charged, convicted or arrested.
Child Custody / Visitation / Child Support
Colorado law specifically describes what individuals may seek child custody, visitation rights or child support. Without establishing Court Orders, even if parents agree as to these matters, parents would be unable to ask a judge for help if the other party violates a parent’s parenting rights. This is why it is always recommended that parents put into place appropriate Court Orders that define the rights, obligations and responsibilities of both parents.
GRANDPARENT RIGHTS/CUSTODY
Under limited circumstances, grandparents have the right to seek visitation or grandparent parenting time with their grandchildren. For those grandparents who had their grandchildren reside with them for over 180 consecutive days, it is possible that a grandparent may be awarded “custody”.
