Do You Have a Child-Related Legal Matter in Colorado?
Colorado Child Support and Parenting Time:
As a preliminary matter, in Colorado the commonly used term "custody" has been statutorily replaced with the legally mandated term "allocation of parental responsibility." The legal term “parental responsibility” encompasses both parenting time and decision-making responsibilities. Colorado law favors meaningful and continuing contact between both parents and the child following a divorce. Couples that go through a divorce usually arrive at a parenting plan in one of two ways:
- Either the parties come to an agreement as to how the responsibilities are to be divided and the agreement is subsequently accepted by the Court, or
-
The Court hears evidence and, based upon the evidence, the Court crafts a parenting plan as part of permanent orders.
The most important factor for a Court deciding parenting time issues will be the best interests of the child.
