What is Child Custody Based on in Colorado? Denver Family Lawyers

Child custody in Colorado is based on a legal standard called "What is in the best interest of the Children?" Child custody contains two key elements: parenting time and decision making. Child support is also often determined along with child custody, however there is a separate formula that determines this subject. Child custody is either going to be determined by you and your spouse, or by the courts following the standard above. In our experience, most people benefit from coming to an agreement by themselves, rather than allow a judge to determine what is in the best interests of their family, although this isn't always the case.
