Grandparent Rights

If you have questions about grandparent rights in Colorado, I can help you explore your options.

If you are a grandparent seeking custody or visitation (known in Colorado as an allocation of parental responsibility), then you are not alone. More and more grandparents (and even great grandparents) are stepping up to either help parents care for their children or take over care for parents who are not able to be there for their children. Grandparents can provide financial support, stable housing, and day to day care for their grandchildren. In some cases, the loving support of a grandparent is all that stands between a grandchild and a lifetime of problems with the justice system, poverty, or substance abuse issues.

When a grandparent is suddenly cut off from a child with whom he or she has a close relationship, the effect can be devastating on the child, especially if the parent is making unhealthy decisions for the child, has untreated mental health conditions, and/or substance abuse problems.

Understanding Grandparent Rights in Colorado

Colorado courts allow grandparents to intervene in cases or even file their own petitions for allocation of parental rights under certain circumstances. If you are a grandparent seeking rights to a grandchild, you should hire an attorney who is experienced in exploring all options to make sure that the child’s interests are put first. These options may include filing petition for grandparent family time in the court where the parents are litigating the allocation of parental responsibility, or intervening in a CPS case (dependency and neglect). Also, grandparents who currently physically care for their grandchildren, or who have physically cared for the child for more than six (6) months, have special rights under Colorado laws.

If you are a grandparent who is concerned about being cut off from your grandchild, or are concerned about the safety or well-being of your grandchild, contact an attorney today.
