A parent's failure to comply does not void the court order. Either party can move to enforce the order with the court. Unless Mother has sole decision making, Father should have direct access to medical and educational records.

Generally yes, however it depends on what your court order says. generally a fit parent can delegate care to others of his or her choosing.

That is an emergency hearing. The allegations have to show the the child is in imminent danger. If these allegations are met, a hearing is set within 14 days.
It is now march, what can I do about this?
answered on Mar 4, 2023
The court is on its own timeline so you can not compel a faster order. It may be that there is a minute order, an informal order, in the case file that can be obtained earlier. You could also call the court clerk to see if you can find out any information.
I filed to modify child support and this what the judge ordered

Most likely it means that your request was granted. However without seeing the order it is hard to say. Each courthouse has a self represented litigants center. They might be able to help you.
My ex is asking for extra money to pay for daycare fees. I am already paying child support. Am I expected to pay for half the daycare expenses too? My child is in the state of Colorado

Generally childcare is included in the child support order. If it is, it is part of the order. If you are ordered to reimburse, then you have to reimburse. If the court has not ordered it, statute requires it, however a court would have to enforce the statute.
Two Children, one has aged out already, the other is turning 18 in August of 2023. He will graduate HS in April of 2023. Both parents agree to stop enforcement of the CS. Will Child Support Enforcement honor this if we both write a letter to Child Support Enforcement?

My ex-husband has convinced my children that I was mean, evil, abusive, and negligent to them. He has told them I'm selfish and all I did was party and yell and scream all their lives.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. If he is violating a court order with regards to parenting time, you can enforce the order. Most parenting plans have an anti disparagement clause and if he is violating that, you can enforce the order.
I live in Colorado, and so far, the visitations have been in the father's home. My question is, does Colorado law prohibit such visitations from including outings to local places? I would even be the driver of the vehicle, if that is required.

The court order is what governs supervised parenting time rather than Colorado law.

Generally when a person withholds a child, that person simultaneously files an emergency motion with... Read more »
using the bank re-fi value verses the fair market value?
answered on Feb 13, 2023
Yes. The parties generally agree to the value of the home for the purposes of property division. They are not bound by the refinance appraisal, but can use any other value to which they can agree.
I filed custody for my kids, and their absent dad said he works for a bank so he has more than enough legal help to fight and gets what he wants out of this custody case. Should I believe him? Do I need to get a lawyer as well?

Some employers offer prepaid legal services as an employee benefit, however it is not likely that all banks offer this option.
answered on Jan 27, 2023
It depends on how the agreement was drafted and the reason for the delay as well as it caused any prejudice to you. However, courts don't usually get involved in enforcing something that has been completed, even if late. There is no one size fits all answer to the question.

It depends. Venue can only be changed under certain circumstances. Usually an action has to be filed in the county where the Respondent resides.
The other party has to be notified of every document filed in a case.

One parent can't terminate another parent's rights. The step-parent adoption process is an exception. If there is a step-parent willing to adopt and the court decides that is in the parents best interests, then a step-parent can adopt. Parental rights are terminated through the dependency...

Based on what you are saying, there appear to be conflicting orders. It would be necessary to review the orders before anyone could provide information on how the potential conflict might be resolved.
