Colorado Child Custody Attorney
Colorado Child Custody Rights During a Divorce
For most of our clients, the most difficult part of a divorce is child custody. The ability to raise your child and spend time with them is one of a parent’s most fundamental rights, and at Johnson Law Group, we appreciate how hard it is to negotiate parenting time and decision-making authority with your ex-spouse.
We work with our clients to understand their objectives and fight for their child custody rights during a divorce.

Colorado Encourages Equal Parenting Time
Although you are not guaranteed equal parenting time, it is important to know that Colorado recognizes the value of a child having a relationship with both parents. The Colorado legislature has declared that it is generally preferable to encourage frequent contact between both parents and their minor children after a divorce. However, co-parenting is not always appropriate, and the courts must always consider the best interests of the children when settling a custody dispute.
Parenting time vs. decision-making
Whereas some states use the terms “physical custody” and “legal custody,” Colorado uses the terms “parenting time” and “decision-making.” Parenting time refers to the residence of the child, whereas decision-making refers to each parent’s right to make legal decisions on behalf of the minor child, such as healthcare or education decisions. When a court allocates the parental responsibilities in a child custody agreement, it must consider both parenting time and decision-making responsibilities.

Acudí a Johnson Law Group en un momento de estrés extremo. Andrea Dalton aceptó mi caso y me hizo sentir a gusto. Es compasiva, da buenos consejos y me ayudó a obtener más de 20.000 dólares que mi ex esposo me estaba reteniendo ilegalmente. Le agradezco que me haya dado la confianza para defenderme. Si tengo algún problema con mi ex en el futuro, no dudaré en pedir ayuda a Andrea- Cristal H.

Antes de trabajar con Johnson Law, tuve un abogado que nos fastidió por completo. Definitivamente, solo aceptó nuestro caso por el dinero. Carecía de comunicación, nos mezcló con diferentes clientes y mucho más. Así que mi esposo y yo teníamos miedo de trabajar con un abogado diferente y que nos fastidiara de nuevo, pero probamos suerte con Johnson Law. Actualmente estamos trabajando con Shana Vélez, Kristina Contreras y Julie Hernández. Después de expresar mis preocupaciones debido al abogado anterior, han mantenido una comunicación increíble conmigo. Saben con quién están hablando todo el tiempo, conocen mi caso y, definitivamente, no solo se interesan por mi dinero. ¡Hacen todo lo posible para ahorrarme dinero! ¡Estas mujeres han hecho un trabajo increíble con mi caso hasta la fecha! ¡10/10, muy recomendables! Volveré con otra reseña una vez que terminemos de trabajar con ellas :)- Sierra S.

Shana Velázquez y Julie Hernández me ayudaron con mi divorcio y fueron increíbles. Shana fue muy buena explicándome todo y calmando mi ansiedad. Tener 64 años y pasar por un divorcio fue muy desalentador para mí y no puedo expresar con palabras lo mucho que aprecio su ayuda y su amabilidad. ¡Las recomiendo encarecidamente!

Contraté a Johnson Law Group para un asunto de adopción. Trabajé con Daniel Sol como mi abogado y su asistente Katie Wilson. Me apoyaron en cada paso del camino. Daniel escuchó todas mis preocupaciones y me ayudó a abordar todos los problemas. Sin su ayuda y orientación, ¡habría tenido muchas más dificultades para superar mi caso! Recomiendo encarecidamente a Daniel Sol, Katie Wilson y Johnson Law Group

I hired Johnson law group for an adoption matter. I worked with Daniel Sol as my attorney and his assistant Katie Wilson. They were with me every step of the way. Daniel listened to all of my concerns and helped to address all issues. Without their assistance and guidance, I would have had a much harder time making it through my case! I highly recommend Daniel sol, Katie Wilson and Johnson law group

Shana Velazquez and Julie Hernandez helped me with my divorce and they were amazing. Shana was so good about explaining everything to me and calming my anxiety. Being 64 and going through a divorce was very daunting to me and I appreciate their help and kind words more than words can say. I highly recommend them!
