Schedule Flexibility
Colorado allows parents to create custom parenting plans that work for their family. The templates shown here are common starting points that courts frequently use.
Holiday Rotations
Holiday schedules typically alternate between parents on an odd/even year basis, ensuring both parents share important holidays with their children over time.
Child's Best Interest
The best schedule depends on the child's age, school schedule, parents' work schedules, and proximity between homes. Younger children often benefit from more frequent transitions.
Modifications
Parenting time orders can be modified when there's a substantial and continuing change in circumstances affecting the child's best interests.
