Grandparents’ Rights
The bond between grandparents and grandchildren is important. When that relationship is threatened, we can help you understand your rights and options.
Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren.
Under Colorado law, grandparents may have the right to seek visitation, often referred to as "grandparent family time." Courts may grant these requests when they determine that visitation is in the best interests of the child.
In certain circumstances, grandparents may also seek an order allocating parental responsibilities, including custody and decision-making authority. Before custody is awarded to a grandparent, the court must consider the rights and relationship of the child's parents. When a parent is living, courts typically require evidence that the parent is unfit before granting custody to a grandparent.
Because every family situation is unique, it is important to seek guidance from an experienced family law attorney who understands Colorado grandparents' rights laws.
