CO Code § 14-10-123.7 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 10 - Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act|§ 14-10-123.7. Parental Education - Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly recognizes research that documents the negative impact divorce and separation can have on children when the parents continue the marital conflict, expose the children to this conflict, or place the children in the middle of the conflict or when one parent drops out of the child's life. This research establishes that children of divorce or separation may exhibit a decreased ability to function academically, socially, and psychologically because of the stress of the divorce or separation process. The general assembly also finds that, by understanding the process of divorce and its impact on both adults and children, parents can more effectively help and support their children during this time of family reconfiguration. Accordingly, the general assembly finds that it is in the best interests of children to authorize courts to establish, or contract with providers for the establishment of, educational programs for separating, divorcing, and divorced parents with minor children. The intent of these programs is to educate parents about the divorce process and its impact on adults and children and to teach coparenting skills and strategies so that parents may continue to parent their children in a cooperative manner.    A court may order a parent whose child is under eighteen years of age to attend a program designed to provide education concerning the impact of separation and divorce on children in cases in which the parent of a minor is a named party in a dissolution of marriage proceeding, a legal separation proceeding, a proceeding concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time proceedings, or postdecree proceedings involving the allocation of parental responsibilities or parenting time or proceedings in which the parent is the subject of a protection order issued pursuant to this article.    Each judicial district, or combination of judicial districts as designated by the chief justice of the Colorado supreme court, may establish an educational program for divorcing and separating parents who are parties to any of the types of proceedings specified in subsection (2) of this section or arrange for the provision of such educational programs by private providers through competitively negotiated contracts. The educational program shall inform parents about the divorce process and its impact on adults and children and shall teach parents coparenting skills and strategies so that they may continue to parent their children in a cooperative manner. Any such educational program shall be administered and monitored by the implementing judicial district or districts and shall be paid for by the participating parents in accordance with each parent's ability to pay.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 10 - Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act|§ 14-10-125. Temporary Orders

  A party to a proceeding concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities may move for a temporary order. The court may allocate temporary parental responsibilities, including temporary parenting time and temporary decision-making responsibility, after a hearing.    If a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or legal separation is dismissed, any temporary order concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities is vacated unless a parent or the person allocated parental responsibilities moves that the proceeding continue as a proceeding concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities and the court finds, after a hearing, that the circumstances of the parents and the best interests of the child require that a decree concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities be issued.    If a proceeding concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities commenced in the absence of a petition for dissolution of marriage or legal separation is dismissed, any temporary order concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities is vacated.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 10 - Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act|§ 14-10-128. Hearings

  Proceedings concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities with respect to a child shall receive priority in being set for hearing.    The court may tax as costs the payment of necessary travel and other expenses incurred by any person whose presence at the hearing the court deems necessary to determine the best interests of the child.    The court without a jury shall determine questions of law and fact. If it finds that a public hearing may be detrimental to the child's best interests, the court may exclude the public from a hearing concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities but may admit any person who has a direct and legitimate interest in the particular case or a legitimate educational or research interest in the work of the court.    If the court finds it necessary in order to protect the child's welfare that the record of any interview, report, investigation, or testimony in a proceeding concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities be kept secret, the court shall make an appropriate order sealing the record.

 A party seeking the modification of a custody decree or a decree concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities shall submit, together with his or her moving papers, an affidavit setting forth facts supporting the requested modification and shall give notice, together with a copy of his or her affidavit, to other parties to the proceeding, who may file opposing affidavits. The court shall deny the motion unless it finds that adequate cause for hearing the motion is established by the affidavits, in which case it shall set a date for hearing on an order to show cause why the requested modification should not be granted.

ANNOTATION   An ex parte order changing custody of a child without notice to the custodial parent violates due process and is, therefore, void. Ashlock v. District Court, 717 P.2d 483 (Colo. 1986).   Verified motion for modification does not change burden of proof. A verified motion for modification of a prior custody decree, alleging various changes of circumstances for the mother, the father and the children, does not place the burden of proof or of going forward on the custodial parent. In re Davis, 43 Colo. App. 302, 602 P.2d 904 (1979).   Where affidavits show noncooperation which renders the general order for visitation, in essence, a nullity, adequate cause for a hearing is established and the court should set a date for a hearing to show cause why the requested modification should not be granted. In re Sepmeier, 782 P.2d 876 (Colo. App. 1989).   Motion to modify custody that was unverified and not supported by any factual averments failed to meet the threshold requirement. A claim contesting the court's denial of the motion on the ground that it failed to meet the threshold was without merit. In re Michie, 844 P.2d 1325 (Colo. App. 1992).   This section does not apply to modification of child support. In re Jones, 703 P.2d 1328 (Colo. App. 1985).   Applied in McGraw v. District Court, 198 Colo. 489 , 601 P.2d 1383 (1979).

2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 10.5 - Parenting Time Enforcement Act|§ 14-10.5-102. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds and declares that in most situations it is important to the healthy development of children that the children spend quality time with both parents. The general assembly further finds that due to dissolution of marriage, legal separation, and children born to single parents, families are often divided. As a result, many children do not have the opportunity to spend the time with both parents that a court may have determined is in their best interests.    The general assembly further finds that the federal “Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996”, Public Law 104-193, allows states to seek grants of federal funds for the establishment and administration of programs and to support and facilitate children's access to time with their noncustodial parent.    It is the purpose of this article to enhance children's opportunities for access to their parent with whom the child does not reside the majority of the time pursuant to court order in compliance with any orders entered in that regard. To that end, the general assembly hereby determines that it is appropriate for the state to seek the federal grant described in section 391 of the federal “Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996”, Public Law 104-193, in order to explore alternative methods by which to support and facilitate a child's access to and time with his or her parent with whom the child does not reside the majority of the time in contested parenting time proceedings.

     The appropriate state agency, as determined by the governor, is hereby authorized to develop a parenting time enforcement program. The program, if developed, shall comply with all requirements and restrictions, if any, set forth in federal law or in federal regulation promulgated by the secretary of the federal department of health and human services and, if in compliance with federal law and regulation, shall address the enhancement and facilitation of children's access to the parents with whom such children reside less than the majority of the time by any one or any combination of the following methods:   Mediation, both voluntary and mandatory;    Family counseling;    Parental education;    Development of parenting plans;    Parenting time enforcement procedures, including monitored parenting time, supervised parenting time, or neutral drop-off and pickup locations;    Parenting time guidelines;    Alternative arrangements with respect to parental responsibilities.       The parenting time enforcement program, if developed, may be operated on a statewide basis or on a representative pilot basis.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 14 - Domestic Matters|Article 12 - Marriage Counseling|§ 14-12-101. Legislative Declaration

 It is the declared public policy of this state to maintain desirable marital and family relations; to promote and foster the marriage relationship and reconciliation of estranged spouses; and to take reasonable measures to preserve marriages, particularly where minor children are involved, in the interest of strengthening the family life foundation of our society, and in reducing the economic and social costs to the state resulting from broken homes. In furtherance of this policy, it is the purpose of this article to make competent marriage counseling services available through the district courts of the state to spouses involved in domestic difficulties.

Support during reconciliation attempt constituted maintenance payments. Where the parties made a good faith although unsuccessful attempt at reconciliation and where the husband supported the family during this time, the support paid and contributed by the husband constituted payment of the maintenance installments accruing during the period they were living together. This conforms to the public policy in the state “to promote and foster the marriage relationship and reconciliation of estranged spouses”. In re Peterson, 40 Colo. App. 115, 572 P.2d 849 (1977).

Source: L. 2007: Entire article added, p. 768, § 1, effective May 14.    OFFICIAL COMMENT   It is possible, even likely, that abduction situations will involve more than one state. Thus, there is a need for mechanisms for communication among courts, for testimony to be obtained quickly by means other than physical presence, and for cooperation between courts in different states. Sections 110, 111, and 112 of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act [sections 14-13-110 , 14-13-111 , and 14-13-112 , C.R.S.] provide mechanisms to deal with these issues. States that do not have the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act may want to include these provisions or use some similar provision of existing state law.
