Special Considerations for Parenting Disputes in Colorado
In Colorado, the legal framework for addressing parenting disputes is designed to prioritize the best interests of the child while encouraging cooperative resolution between parents. When conflicts arise regarding parenting time or decision-making responsibilities, it’s essential to understand the state’s specific procedures and remedies.
Under Colorado Revised Statutes § 14-10-129.5, if a parent is not complying with an established parenting time order, the court may intervene upon the filing of a verified motion by the aggrieved parent. The court has several options to address noncompliance, including:
Imposing Additional Terms
The court may add conditions to the existing order to ensure future compliance, ensuring that child support and parenting time issues are addressed separately.
Mandating Parental Education Programs
The noncompliant parent may be required to attend educational programs to improve parenting skills.
Requiring Posting of Bond or Security
To ensure adherence to the parenting plan, the court can mandate the noncompliant parent to post a bond.
Imposing Civil Fines
A fine of up to $100 per incident of denied parenting time can be levied, payable to the state's family law dispute resolution fund.
Modifying the Existing Order
Adjustments can be made to better serve the child's best interests.
Ordering Family Counseling
Both parents might be directed to participate in counseling sessions to resolve underlying conflicts.
Granting Makeup Parenting Time
The aggrieved parent may receive additional parenting time to compensate for missed sessions, which should be of the same type and duration as originally scheduled and occur within six months or, in certain cases, within a year.
Holding the Noncompliant Parent in Contempt
This can result in fines or jail time for the offending parent.
Additionally, the court is obligated to order the noncompliant parent to pay the aggrieved party’s attorney fees, court costs, and related expenses associated with addressing the violation. Conversely, if the motion is found to be unwarranted, the filing parent may be required to cover the legal expenses of the accused parent.
Mediation as a Preferred Approach
Colorado courts often encourage mediation as a first step in resolving parenting disputes. Mediation provides a platform for parents to collaboratively develop solutions that prioritize their child’s well-being, potentially avoiding the adversarial nature of court proceedings. If mediation is unsuccessful, the court may then proceed with the aforementioned remedies.
