If he files a motion for modification or an initial petition for parenting time, you can provide relevant evidence in response, whether it relates to safety concerns or financial matters. Courts do generally want both parents to have contact with children, however absent abuse or neglect.

How can Colorado hold me in contempt of court if I've never been to court in Colorado?
answered on Aug 28, 2023
It sounds like a Court in Ohio may have established a child support order for your daughter, and then those Orders may have been "registered" in Colorado because you live here. In order to hold you in contempt, there has to be Orders that you are alleged to have violated. I do not know... View More
If my spouse agrees to pay child support/spousal maintenance while I get established in part time work, can this be part of a mediation agreement?

The best way to get a clear answer is to talk to Child Support Enforcement. They can tell you what is going on there. If there are arrears owed, that would be one explanation. Start there.

As Ms. Janko noted, child support is going to have no bearing on the division of parenting time.

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?
answered on Feb 27, 2023
This is not a simple or straight forward question to answer. There are layers here.
If both parties request for child support services to stop enforcement, they will generally finish anything that is already pending before the court before stopping. They will not reverse any enforcement... View More

answered on Jan 25, 2023
The short answer is no, you can't block a child support modification because the other parent is denying you parenting time. Under Colorado law, the beginning and end of what child support and parenting time have to do with each other is in calculating the overnights.
That does not,... View More

It is always risky to self-adjust a court order. If the other party never makes an issue of it, you might not have a problem but if there is a disagreement, you could be in contempt of court.

It depends on what your decree says. This is an aspect generally covered in a parenting plan. If not, Colorado statute says that the exemptions are taken in proportion to income so if you each make the same amount of income, then you would alternate every year.
