Frequently Asked Questions About Child Custody in Colorado
Colorado uses the "best interests of the child" standard. Courts consider many factors including each parent's relationship with the child, the child's adjustment to home and community, the mental and physical health of all parties, each parent's willingness to encourage a relationship with the other parent, and — if the child is mature enough — their own wishes. An experienced Denver custody attorney helps you present these factors in the strongest light.
Custody attorney fees in Denver typically range from $250 to $450 per hour, with total case costs varying from $5,000 for straightforward matters to $25,000+ for contested cases. At The Reputation Law Group, we offer a free initial consultation and transparent fee structures so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. Colorado allows custody modifications when there has been a substantial and continuing change in circumstances. Common reasons include relocation, changes in work schedule, the child's changing needs as they grow, or concerns about the other parent's behavior. Our custody modification attorneys handle the entire process.
Colorado uses the term "Allocation of Parental Responsibilities" rather than "custody." This includes two components: decision-making responsibility (major decisions about education, healthcare, and religion) and parenting time (the physical schedule of when the child is with each parent). Both can be joint or primary.
Uncontested custody matters can be resolved in as little as 30-60 days. Contested cases typically take 6-12 months, though complex high-conflict cases can take longer.
Absolutely. Colorado law does not favor one parent over the other based on gender. Courts make custody decisions based solely on the best interests of the child.
