As explained by Super Lawyers in their article, “What Matters in a Colorado Contested Custody Battle?”, custody disputes can be emotionally and legally complex. In Colorado, the legal system refers to custody as “allocation of parental responsibilities”, which includes both decision-making authority and parenting time.
Key Aspects of Custody in Colorado:
- Decision-Making Responsibilities – Determines who has the authority to make major life decisions regarding the child’s education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. This can be jointly shared or granted solely to one parent.
- Parenting Time – Dictates where and when the child will spend time with each parent. Arrangements can range from equal shared time to limited or supervised visitation.
