Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a popular avenue for parents trying to arrange or modify custody agreements in California. Through ADR, you could achieve an official, legal custody modification without going to court. ADR is not a custody trial.
Submit Paperwork File online at Colorado Courts E-Filing. Or, file with the same court that gave you the original order. Pay the filing fee. Visit the Fee Page for a list of fees and information on fee waivers. Mail a copy of the paperwork you filed to the other parent.
Substance abuse is a significant red flag in custody cases. A parent with a documented history of drug or alcohol abuse may be considered unstable, mainly if the behavior puts the child at risk. Courts will evaluate the extent of the substance use and whether it interferes with parenting responsibilities.
The parent should file a petition with the family court requesting the custody transfer. The petition should include reasons for the transfer and any relevant supporting documents. Notify the other parent (if applicable) and any other parties involved in the childs life, as required by law.
