Since you're asking, I'm guessing that perhaps the relationship with the child's other parent is not particularly cordial. So my first recommendation is read your Orders to see if there is any restriction. Sometimes, there is a restriction in the Order, usually if there has been... View More

As Ms. Janko noted, child support is going to have no bearing on the division of parenting time. The one and only time under Colorado law that they have any bearing on each other is when child support is calculated, the parenting time (specifically the number of overnights) is part of the formula....

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 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.

You mention that your ex filed a motion to restrict your parenting time. If he did so, then there is an automatic injunction that suspends your parenting time until you both get in front of a judge. If he filed on January 20, then there should be a hearing date set by now. The Court has to hear... View More

That does not,... View More
