An Important Note About Colorado Family Law
Some divorcing parents are surprised to learn that “child custody” is not a legal term defined under Colorado law. In Colorado, the legal code refers to the "allocation of parental responsibilities" rather than calling it "child custody." These differences in terminology can make it difficult for parents to locate high-quality first-hand sources online when they try to conduct their own divorces.
Understanding Colorado's Child Custody Standards
In Colorado, child custody is determined based on the "best interests of the child." Instead of "custody," Colorado law uses the term "allocation of parental responsibilities," which encompasses decision-making responsibilities (like education and healthcare) and parenting time (where the child lives and how time is shared).
The "best interests of the child" standard is the paramount consideration for courts when deciding parental responsibilities. This standard requires courts to evaluate numerous factors, including the child's wishes (depending on their age and maturity); the parents' ability to provide care; the child's relationship with each parent; the child's adjustment to their home, school, and community; and any history of abuse or neglect.
