Child custody and visitation are often difficult issues in a divorce and sometimes can become highly contentious. In every Colorado divorce, legal separation, annulment, or paternity case involving children, Colorado courts consider the “best interests of the child” to determine Colorado child custody and visitation. There is no presumption favoring either parent as the custodial parent, and custody may be awarded solely to one parent or jointly to both. Joint custody can be a shared legal custody, where both parents retain joint responsibility for care and decision-making, regardless where the children may reside; joint physical custody, where the parents share physical and custodial care of the children; or some combination of the two. The court is required to ensure minor children have frequent and continuing contact with both parents, as appropriate, and to encourage parents to share in the responsibilities of rearing their children.
Our attorneys at Methner and Associates are experienced in negotiating and resolving custody disputes and in litigating such matters when circumstances require.
