By voluntarily giving up any claim to your child, you legally end your relationship to them. No longer will you have custody rights or financial support obligations. The law will not recognize you as the child's parent after a Colorado court approves the relinquishment.

You can file your motion for enforcement at the clerk's office of the district court for the county where your child resides. Also, you'll need to attend a contempt hearing, where a family court judge will decide whether you've proven that the delinquent parent is in punitive and/or remedial contempt.

Although child support payments are owed to the custodial parent, the child is the beneficiary of these payments. Child support itself cannot be waived or modified except by agreement of the parties in writing and approval by the court.

Child support terminates automatically only when the last (or only) child turns 19 or emancipates. In all other situations, a court order is required.

A Petition, Declaration, and Order for Return of Property may be filed by any person whose property has been seized as a result of a search warrant or an arrest. The owner of the property may petition the court for return of their property whether or not a case has been filed with the court.

Figure out the deadline to serve Unless the court orders a different time to serve, your server must mail the papers at least 16 court days plus 5 calendar days before your court date. A court day is a day the court is open (Monday through Friday, excluding court holidays).
