Understanding Mothers’ Rights in Colorado
At The Gasper Law Group, our skilled mothers' rights attorneys understand the gravity and emotional toll that child custody disputes can take on parents. Mothers can face unjust challenges when petitioning for custody, making it vital for mothers to consult with a trusted family lawyer when preparing for a divorce or child custody proceedings. To understand mothers' rights, we must first understand the different types of child custody (known as “parental responsibilities”) in Colorado.
There are two primary types of child custody, including:
- Decision-Making Responsibility (Legal Custody): Also known as legal custody, decision-making responsibility is the parental right to make important decisions in the child’s life, such as religious upbringing, education, and healthcare.
- Parenting Time (Physical Custody): Also known as physical custody, parenting time determines where the child will live and how much time they will spend with each parent.
How Is Child Custody Determined in Colorado?
In any child custody decision, the court's primary concern is the best interests of the child. To determine a fair arrangement, the judge may consider various elements, such as the child's emotional, mental, and physical welfare and each co-parent's ability to maintain a healthy, cooperative relationship with the other.
Additional factors that influence child custody decisions include:
- The health and needs of the child
- The earning capacity of each parent
- The child’s wishes, if age-appropriate
- The quality of each child-parent relationship
- Geographic location (e.g., the child’s school district)
- The mental and physical health of all involved parties
- The safety and suitability of each parent’s living conditions
- Each parent’s outstanding debts and financial contributions
Types of Child Custody Arrangements
When it comes to awarding decision-making responsibility and parenting time, various child custody arrangements can be established. These include:
- Joint custody, where parents share parental responsibilities; and
- Primary (sole) custody, where one parent is awarded custody.
