Legal Advice About Grandparent Visitation Rights in Colorado
Just as divorce upsets and transforms nuclear family relationships into new arrangements, it also affects the dynamics of extended families. Colorado law extends cautious recognition to the rights of grandparents for maintaining regular visitation with grandchildren, but this recognition is anything but automatic.

Grandparents Can Also Seek Custodial Rights of a Grandchild
Less frequently, the firm's clients need advice about grandparent custody. Instead of establishing a right to regular visitation over the objection of a parent, a grandparent who acts as a child's primary caregiver might be interested in a formal allocation of parental rights when one or both parents can't provide a stable home environment. The objective here is to get legal recognition of parental authority similar to that of a guardian during a period when the child's parents can't meet the full range of their responsibilities.
