Child/Parent
Your children are your first concern in a divorce or custody dispute. Child related issues may involve parenting time, decision-making, or child support matters. The thought of letting a judge, who does not know you or your ex, find what is in your child’s best interest should be terrifying. Arm yourself with knowledge and a team devoted to ensuring your parental rights are protected.
You Have A Fundamental Liberty Interest To Parent Your Child
In Colorado, biological parents are deemed to have a fundamental liberty interest in the care and custody of their own children. Meaning that you have a right to parent your child, absent a founded concern regarding the health and safety of the child.
When parents breakup, there are decisions that must be made for the children of the relationship. These decisions are referred to as “parental responsibilities”. The legal term “parental responsibility” incudes deciding a child’s primary residence, allotment of parenting time, decision-making authority, and child support.
Committed To Protecting Your Rights And Your Children
There is an immense amount of pressure that you face in a legal dispute, both financially and emotionally. These same issues are even more stressful when your children are involved.
The pressure you face as a parent to ensure your child’s well-being is protected is immense in family law disputes. Sometimes, it may be necessary or helpful to have a court appointed Child and Family Investigator (CFI) or a Parental Responsibility Evaluator (PRE). A CFI or PRE work as an investigative arm of the court and provide a written summary of the result of the investigation. This may include a recommendation on parenting time and decision-making for your children.
