Child Custody FAQs
What Does the Court Consider When Deciding Child Custody in Littleton?
The court applies the best interests of the child standard, weighing the child’s wishes (if sufficiently mature), each parent’s ability to cooperate, existing relationships with each parent, and the child’s ties to their school and community in Littleton.
How Is Child Custody Different from Parenting Time Under Colorado Law?
Custody refers to the allocation of parental responsibilities, including decision-making authority over the child’s health care, education, religion, and general welfare. Parenting time refers to where and with whom the child physically spends their time. Both are determined according to the child’s best interests.
Can Parenting Plans Be Modified After the Original Order?
Yes. If there’s a significant change in circumstances, you can request a modification of parenting time or decision-making authority. Courts in Littleton require a formal process and supporting documentation to consider any changes.
How Does Relocating Affect Child Custody Arrangements?
Colorado law requires the relocating parent to provide the other parent with written notice as soon as practicable, including the proposed new location, the reason for the move, and a revised parenting time plan. If the other parent objects, the court evaluates how the move affects the child’s best interests and existing local ties before making a decision.
What Should I Do If the Other Parent Is Not Following the Custody Order?
You may request enforcement through the court. Our firm assists with enforcing existing orders and protecting your parental rights in Littleton courts.

"Would always be my choice"
I found Alexandria White through a neighborhood referral page and this office did not disappoint. From the very first meet (consult) she was very realistic about cost (less than I anticipated), timeframe, and the process. Advice was helpful in every choice I had to make. She was professional yet personal. There were a couple times my ex and his attorney were slow on deadlines and they took care of getting us back on track in a tactful and firm way while maintaining a positive tone with opposing counsel. The entire staff was friendly, efficient and I would make the confident choice to hire them all over again if needed.
