Grandparent Won Visitation With Grandchild

It can be difficult for grandparents to obtain court-ordered visitation in Colorado. With a belief that parents know what is best for their children, courts give parents preference in these types of cases. So grandparents must have a strong case to get visitation if it's not what the parent wishes. 

In this case, our client took care of her grandchild for a number of months while a child protection action was filed against the child's parents. The child was later reunified with their mother, and our client sought help to obtain visitation rights.

The court granted robust visitation rights for our client, which resulted in weekly contact, one weekend of overnight visitation each month, and a full week of vacation annually.
