When two parents in Colorado decide to divorce, they must also make difficult decisions concerning their child. They want what is best for their child, but a divorce can turn a child's world upside-down, as the life they once knew has suddenly changed. It can be a time of stress for both the parents and the child.
One issue that will have to be reckoned with is that of child custody, referred to as "parental responsibilities" in Colorado. Parental responsibilities include determining where the child will reside, which parent (or both) will make major decisions regarding the raising and care of their child and what visitation periods for the noncustodial parent, known as "parenting time" in Colorado will look like.
