Denver, CO asked in Domestic Violence and Family Law for Colorado

Q: So my boyfriend and I were involved in a domestic dispute two weeks ago. He went to jail it was during his parenting tim

His child slept thru the entire thing. He was even tazed 10 feet away. The police had to wake his son up to let him know what was going on. The police had asked if he wanted them to call his mom. He said no he would stay with me than the next day go to grandpa's. So they left him with me which was fine. Now mom two weeks later is petitioning courts for emergency change in parenting plans. She is going for supervised visits. Does she have a leg to stand on. Please help the only reason this happened was due to alcohol and we both have anger issues. Both dad and son have worked so hard in the last year and the mom is only doing this to be vindictive. She even told me a week ago that she knows the newest parenting plan has been very beneficial to there son. Please help.

A: Your boyfriend should retain an attorney to represent him. The court will find this to be a very disturbing incident. Your boyfriend will need to convince the court that the child is safe with him.
