A: More information is needed to answer this question. Was custody lost to the other parent? By "they closed the case out...," do you mean the court? If there was a hearing regarding custody or modification of custody (or parenting time), you may have certain rights to seek reconsideration under CRCP Rule 59, for relief from the order pursuant to CRCP Rule 60, for review of the order if it was entered by a magistrate, pursuant to CRM Rule 7, or the right to appeal under the Colorado Appellate Rules. Each of these rules comes with various deadlines for filing something and you will need to move quickly to avail yourself of your options. You should consult with a family law attorney right away to understand your rights, options, and specific deadlines. Waiting to long to do so can impact and/or negate whatever options you might have.
