In determining unfitness, the court shall consider, but not be limited to, the following: Conduct toward the child of a physically or sexually abusive nature. History of violent behavior. A single incident of life-threatening or serious bodily injury or disfigurement of the child.
In Colorado, an unfit parent is generally defined as one whose conduct, condition, or environment endangers the childs physical health or emotional development.
Both you and the other parent will need to go to counseling to discuss giving up the child. Each parent will give their own JDF 453 Affidavit of Relinquishment Counseling form to the counselor to fill out to prove that you both went to counseling. The counselor will sign both forms and return them to you.
Child custody in Colorado is determined based on the childs best interests. Factors that courts consider include the childs wishes, the ability of each parent to support the child, the childs adjustment to his/her school and community, and the mental and physical health of all individuals involved.
In Colorado, fathers have the same custody rights as mothers do. When it comes to child custody, many fathers worry theyll be at a disadvantage from the start. But heres the truth: Colorado law does not favor mothers over fathers.
