Formerly the law talked about joint custody, sole custody and legal custody. These terms became obsolete in Colorado law. Colorado now discusses these issues as part of Parental Responsibility. The court assigns each parent the responsibility for taking care of a child and making decisions for that child.
Parenting time and decision making are the concepts that are most important when determining child custody arrangements. Our focus will be on creating arrangements that outline each parent's time with their children, as well as how each parent will make decisions about the child's life. The court will want to see both parents involved, however there are instances where it is best for one parent to have the final say on decisions affecting the child's life.
The Best Interest of the Child
The Best Interest of the Child drives the court's decision when they assign parenting time and decision making responsibility. The factors of Best Interest are discussed in C.R.S. 14-10-124. We understand these issues and can help a parent understand them as well. That's the legal part. The most important part is that the parent understand to think about the child rather than the parent to come to the proper decision. Painful that it may be, we emphasize that approach.
