Basic Paternity Facts for Colorado
In Colorado Springs you or your lawyer/attorney can file a motion or
petition to determine paternity at any time. You do not have to be in a
divorce to file this motion—this option is also open to unmarried
parents. If the father’s name is on the birth certificate, such a
filing is not necessary unless there is still a question about it. You
can only bring a motion to deny paternity within five years of the
child’s birth.
After the Colorado court establishes paternity, the next step is to determine parental rights and responsibilities including child custody, visitation, and child support.
Psychological Parents in Colorado
Biology is an important step in determining unmarried fathers’
paternity rights. However, in the state of Colorado, it is not
necessary to be a biological parent to have parental rights. Even if no
adoption took place, a person may still have custody rights and pay
child support if she or he has been a constant presence in that child’s
life, serving as a de facto parent. If this describes you and you live
near Colorado Springs, then you should contact a paternity lawyer/attorney who
understands what you must do in order to continue to be a positive
presence in that child’s life. We can help you.
