Typically, Colorado is a 50/50 parenting time state, and the Courts try to encourage and facilitate parents’ involvement with the children. However, when parties do not agree on parenting time and what is best for the children, the Colorado court system must determine custody disputes based on the children’s best interests. The Court will consider factors such as the wishes of each party, the ability and willingness to place the children’s needs ahead of the parties’ own needs, the ability of the parties to facilitate a relationship with the other parent, and more. The court will also ensure that the child is not abused or neglected if the child is neglected, used, or in danger while in the other parent’s care; the custody order may include supervised visitation or limited parenting time.

If the Colorado court decides that one parent should have sole decision-making authority or full custody, the child will reside with that parent who was determined to be best able to care for the child. Although the parent having custody/full decision-making authority of a child is typically the only person who can make medical, religious, or educational decisions for the child, the child may also have a relationship with the other parent. Additionally, the parent having custody of the child may not always have the final say when making decisions for the child.
