Restriction of Parenting Time Services in Parker, CO

If you believe that your child is in imminent emotional or physical danger while in the care of the other parent, you should file a restriction of parenting time. Keep in mind that you will have to prove your assertion in Court, so you will need to consult with your attorney on what information can and cannot be used in a hearing.

There a numerous options that can result from a restriction hearing. The Court can always find that continuing the restriction is not in the best interests of your child. The Court could determine that parenting time should continue as normal, but with some safeguards in place such as regular substance testing or anger management classes. You could also end up with your regular parenting time schedule changed entirely, or find yourself with a custody evaluator (a CFI or a PRE) in a modification procedure. When you file a restriction, you should be prepared for all outcomes.

A restriction of parenting time is immediately effective after you file it with the Court. This means that the moment you file your motion to restrict, your child should automatically be with you.

If you are concerned about the timing of filing your restriction, be sure to raise this with your legal counsel.
