Colorado Springs, CO asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Colorado

Q: My ex took me to court and claimed I had a drug problem, proved her wrong through UA's. She was made sole decision maker

And has our daughters 80 percent of the time. Their mother got a boyfriend who has a known drug problem and sold drugs. He has been to rehab three times and is around my children 80 percent of the time. How do I go about taking her back to court to prove that the girls aren't in a safe environment with him there and that their mother took me to court for the same thing yet I showed I didn't have a problem but now she is actually dating someone who has a known problem

A: It sounds like you are looking to restrict Mother's parenting time due to the situation with her boyfriend. If so, then you would need to file a motion describing what is occurring. In other words, your motion would have to contain facts and information that the children are in imminent physical or emotional danger due to the parenting time or contact with Mother. If the Court grants a request for a hearing (which would have to occur within 14 days), then you would have to be able to present evidence and information as to why Mother's parenting time should be "supervised," while the children remain with you for that time period.
