Parenting Time & Decision Making

Parenting time and decision-making responsibilities are crucial aspects of any custody arrangement. We help parents navigate these complex legal matters with a focus on protecting their rights and prioritizing their child’s well-being. Whether you need to establish, modify, or enforce a parenting plan, our experienced legal team provide strategic guidance and strong advocacy.​

​

Parenting time and decision-making responsibilities are fundamental elements of any child custody arrangement. These components determine not only how much time each parent spends with their child but also who makes important decisions about the child’s education, health care, religious upbringing, and overall welfare. Navigating these issues can be emotionally charged and legally complex, making experienced legal guidance essential to protect your rights and promote your child’s best interests.

​

In Colorado, the term “custody” encompasses two distinct aspects: parenting time and decision-making. The law prioritizes the child’s best interests in all custody matters, guided by Colorado Revised Statutes § 14-10-124, which outlines several statutory factors for courts to consider. These factors help ensure that parenting time and decision making arrangements support the child’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs.

​

Every family’s situation is unique. Whether you are a custodial parent seeking to establish a clear and workable parenting plan, a non-custodial parent striving to maintain meaningful involvement in your child’s life, or a parent seeking to modify an existing plan due to changing circumstances, our team is here to help. We work closely with you to develop a parenting plan that reflects your child’s needs while balancing the rights and responsibilities of both parents.

​

When a disputes arise - whether over parenting time schedules or decision-making authority - our skilled legal professionals provide strategic advocacy aimed at resolving conflicts efficiently and fairly.

​

Enforcing or modifying a parenting plan can also present challenges. Life changes such as relocation, changes in work schedules, or evolving needs of the child may require adjustments to existing Orders. We assist clients through the legal process of requesting modifications or enforcement to ensure that parenting plans remain practical and continue to serve the child’s best interests.

​

At every stage, our goal is to guide you through the legal complexities with clarity and compassion. We are committed to advocating for your parental rights while fostering cooperation and positive outcomes for your family.
