What Is Parental Custody?
In Colorado, parental custody is legally referred to as the "allocation of parental responsibilities." This includes:
- Legal custody (decision-making rights about health, education, and general welfare)
- Physical custody (where the child lives and the parenting time schedule)
Our role is to help you understand how these responsibilities are divided and how to make the strongest case for your rights as a parent.
What We Can Help With
We provide legal support in a wide range of parental custody matters, including:
- Initial custody agreements during divorce or separation.
- Modifications of existing custody orders.
- Relocation and move-away cases.
- Parenting time (visitation) disputes.
- Emergency custody issues.
- Custody enforcement actions.
- Mediation and alternative dispute resolution.
Every custody situation is unique. That’s why we take the time to tailor our approach to your specific goals and family dynamics.
Our Approach to Custody Cases
At Hand Law, P.C., we always focus on what’s best for the child. Colorado courts do the same. Judges consider several factors when determining parental custody, including:
- The child’s emotional ties to each parent.
- Each parent’s ability to provide a stable home.
- The child’s adjustment to their school and community.
- The wishes of the child (depending on age and maturity).
- Each parent’s willingness to support the other’s relationship with the child.
We help you gather and present the right evidence to show the court how you support your child’s best interests.
