Post Divorce Decree Amendment in Colorado Springs

Following the finalization of a divorce, unforeseen circumstances may arise, necessitating modifications to the divorce decree. When a Colorado resident seeks to modify an existing decree, it entails reopening negotiations with their ex-spouse. While some custody and visitation disputes can be resolved by referring back to the divorce decree, certain situations require amendments to the decree itself.

Child Custody & Relocation Services

While parents have the right to travel, specific parental rights outlined in custody agreements must be considered. Disputes often emerge when a custodial parent intends to relocate with their children, potentially leading to legal intervention. When evaluating a parent's request to relocate, the court meticulously weighs various factors, including:

  • The reasons for relocation
  • Objections from the other parent
  • Impact on the child
  • Educational opportunities
  • Extended family dynamics
  • Potential parenting schedule adjustments

The court may also enlist the expertise of psychologists to assess the modification of parenting time.

Colorado Child Support and Spousal Support Modification

Modifications to child support and alimony arrangements are permissible in Colorado Springs if there's a significant change in either parent's circumstances. Typically, a significant change entails a 10 percent increase or decrease in support. Spousal maintenance may also be modified based on changing financial circumstances, unless the decree specifies it as "contractual and non-modifiable."
