Questions
Can I file for child custody if the father is in prison?
Yes, you can establish custody arrangements even if the father is incarcerated. We'll help you create a parenting plan that serves your child's best interests while accounting for the father's current situation.
How does Colorado determine child support payments?
Colorado uses income guidelines to calculate child support based on both parents' earnings, custody arrangements, and additional factors like medical expenses and special needs.
Can I modify an existing custody agreement?
Yes, custody modifications are possible with changed circumstances. We handle modification requests for relocation, parental behavior changes, or the child's evolving needs.
Do grandparents have visitation rights in Colorado?
Colorado allows grandparent visitation under specific conditions through the Grandparents' Rights Act, typically requiring a court demonstration of the child's best interests.
What happens if my ex won't pay child support?
We can help enforce child support through contempt citations, wage garnishments, and other legal remedies to ensure compliance with court orders.
How long do I have to pay spousal support?
Duration depends on marriage length and circumstances. Short-term marriages typically have shorter support durations, while long-term marriages may require indefinite arrangements.
