Colorado considers a number of factors when determining whether or not a parent is unfit. The courts don’t make this judgement base on generalizations. Instead, Denver courts look at the specifics surrounding your case and examine factors, such as:  physical or sexual abuse neglect serious bodily injury parent’s history of violence or sexual assault excessive use of alcohol parent’s involvement in previous cases of neglect, if any termination of parental rights in another state, if any parent’s mental or emotion illness, if any.
