Undo And Redo In Legal Colorado Visitation Forms For Free

However, under Colorado law, there's no statutory age when children get to decide on custody and visitation. Most family courts allow children more autonomy, starting at the age of 14. And when children turn 16 or 17, many Colorado family courts consider more closely the child's wishes.

To modify parenting time, one parent must first file a motion with the court. The other parent must also be served with a notice of the motion, much like when the divorce itself was first filed. The court will then take up the case if the motion has merit and everything was filed correctly.

If your child custody arrangement is no longer serving the best interests of your child, you have the right to seek a modification from the court. In order to do so, you need to show the court that a material change of circumstances has affected the efficacy of the original parenting plan.

If you and the other parent cannot agree on this issue, you can file a Motion to Modify Parenting Time (JDF 1406 - click here) with the court. When you file your motion with the court you can also file an Order Re: Modification or Restriction of Parenting Time (JDF 1424- click here). Fill out these forms completely.

§ 14-10-129. Modification of Parenting Time. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (1)(b)(I) of this section, the court may make or modify an order granting or denying parenting time rights whenever such order or modification would serve the best interests of the child.

Emergency motions to restrict parenting time are also governed by Section 129. A motion to restrict can be filed in situations when a child is in ?imminent? or immediate danger of physical or emotional harm in the care of the other parent.
