Colorado Post Decree Matters: Modifying the Parenting Plan Based on Relocation

If you are relocating out of the State of Colorado, and want to take your child with you, you must first file in Colorado to modify the court ordered parenting time before you move.

Before ruling on a relocation case, the court will consider the following:

• Your reasons for relocating to another state

• Why you believe that it is in the child's best interests to accompany you, rather than stay in CO with the other parent.

• The objections of the child's other parent to the proposed relocation

• The proposed parenting plan if relocation is granted

• The impact  the proposed move will have on the child

• Opportunities for the child in the new location

• Extended family members living in the current location and the new location
