An Important Note About Colorado Family Law
Some divorcing parents are surprised to learn that “child custody” is not a legal term defined under Colorado law. In Colorado, the legal code refers to the "allocation of parental responsibilities" rather than calling it "child custody." These differences in terminology can make it difficult for parents to locate high-quality first-hand sources online when they try to conduct their own divorces.
Understanding Colorado's Child Custody Standards
In Colorado, child custody is determined based on the "best interests of the child." Instead of "custody," Colorado law uses the term "allocation of parental responsibilities," which encompasses decision-making responsibilities (like education and healthcare) and parenting time (where the child lives and how time is shared).
The "best interests of the child" standard is the paramount consideration for courts when deciding parental responsibilities. This standard requires courts to evaluate numerous factors, including the child's wishes (depending on their age and maturity); the parents' ability to provide care; the child's relationship with each parent; the child's adjustment to their home, school, and community; and any history of abuse or neglect.

I called Johnson Law Group extremely frustrated and stressed with the process of my custody case. From the consultation to every conversation after, Elizabeth went out of her way to make sure that i was comfortable with all the matters and decisions. My goals and the safety of my children were always the priority to the JLG team. I highly recommend Elizabeth and the whole Johnson Law Group team to anyone going through custody matters. Elizabeth, Cassidy, and Paola were amazing. I would happily use them again if needed.- Patricia

I was in a very difficult custody/child support dispute with my ex-spouse. The Johnson law Group and in particular Elizabeth Gregory was phenomenal with their representation of my case. Working with her was such a wonderful experience, kept our goals at the top of every conversation, knew all points and avenues that we could take, never lead us in the wrong direction. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is going through a family law issue.- Liz

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!

Before working with Johnson Law. I had a previous attorney who completely screwed us over. He definitely only took us on for the money. He had no communication, mixed us up with different clients and so much more. So my husband and I were very scared working with a different attorney and getting screwed over again but we took the chance with Johnson law. We are currently working with Shana Velez, Kristina Contreras, and Julie Hernandez. After expressing my concerns because of the previous attorney they have kept amazing communication with me. They know who they are speaking to every time, they know my case, and they definitely don’t try to just take my money. They do their best to save me money as much as they can! These ladies have done such an amazing job with my case so far! 10/10 highly recommend! I will be back with another review once we are done working with them :)- Sierra S.

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

Myles is the best representation for anyone who has to go through an APR case. From day 1 he was very welcoming and attentive to me and what I was going through. I always felt very respected by him and the other members of his firm. Myles always took the time to really investigate any information or things involved with my case. I knew he was truly invested in my best wishes. When there were deadlines that needed to be met, they always were. If I was ever confused about a process, paperwork or court proceedings Myles took the time to explain and make sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. All the way through Mediation. He was an absolute success and I could not have asked for better representation. I will always recommend Myles to anyone in need an attorney.
