When Can Custody Be Modified? In Colorado, both parents must agree to a parenting plan, which dictates the time each parent spends with the minor child, plans for visitation on holidays, and other similar matters. If the parents cannot agree on such a plan, the court will create a schedule based on what they perceive as the best interests of the child.
To modify the parenting plan, your Denver family lawyer must prove that such a change will be in the best interests of the child based on a substantial change in circumstances. There are a very wide range of situations in which a permanent change to custody can be ordered, including:
- The other parent moves a lot, creating an instable environment
- Your child has been exposed to drug or alcohol abuse
- The other parent has physically or mentally abused the child
- The child is older, and their needs have changed
Oftentimes, the court will reduce or eliminate your visitation time if you had a history of drug or alcohol abuse at the time of the divorce. If you have taken steps to get your life back on track, you can apply for a modification to allow you to be involved in your child’s life.
