Greeley Colorado Child Custody Lawyers

Child Custody ∙ Parental Responsibility in Colorado

Deciding questions about custody of the children are often some of the most emotional and difficult parts of negotiating a divorce agreement.

Even when parents agree about which of them should have primary custody, they still must work out detailed visitation schedules and make financial arrangements for child support payments, health care coverage and a day care provider, if necessary.

When parents disagree on who should have primary custody of the children, an experienced Greeley child custody attorney can guide the parents through the process of establishing a negotiated agreement or court order.

Most child custody disputes — including relocation cases — are always eventually decided according to what is in the best interests of the child. Colorado's courts have a number of factors to consider when making child custody determinations, in order to ensure any arrangement that is established is in the best interests of the children.

Our child custody attorneys can meet with you at any point in your divorce proceedings — or after your divorce — to help guide you through any concerns you have about custody of your children. We have extensive knowledge and experience handling complex child custody cases, including cases involving child custody modifications or child relocation after divorce.

A Note About Terminology: Colorado laws — and Colorado lawyers — no longer use the term "child custody." Instead, the laws and the judges talk about "allocation of parental responsibility." There are two parts to allocation of parental responsibility. The first is the power to make decisions about the child, such as health care, religion and schooling. The second part of parental responsibility is parenting time — or what used to be called physical custody.
