Colorado courts generally believe children should spend time with both parents, except when time alone with one parent would not be in the child(ren)’s best interests.
A father contacted our Family Law team for help after the mother filed for sole custody. In Colorado, sole custody gives one parent physical custody and total decision-making authority. This father worried his parenting time would be unfairly restricted to supervised visitation.
In addition to preserving the father’s parenting time, our attorneys secured him financial support from the mother.
