Program Description:
Circumstances often change after a divorce. Colorado law provides for post-decree modifications. The parties must petition the court for a modification, and the court must approve the modification. There are consequences for parties who do not abide by dissolution of marriage orders without seeking court permission. At the Family Law Fall Update, navigate the labyrinth of post-decree modifications of jurisdiction, parental responsibilities, maintenance and child support. Don’t miss the Panel Presentation of Magistrates, who will candidly discuss post-decree issues from the perspective of the bench.

The segment will also address modification standards in third-party cases, the timing of filing modification motions, modifications of a child’s primary residence, and restrictions on parenting time.
