Can a parent get full custody in Colorado?
One parent having full custody – or sole decision making responsibility and parenting time – is rare in Colorado.
The court generally believes that it is in a child’s best interest for both parents to share decision making responsibility, as well as parenting time. However, if there is compelling evidence that proves the child’s safety or well-being would be at risk (such as one parent struggling with drug or alcohol abuse, or having a documented history of violence or abuse), the court will take this into consideration.
