Program Description
Family law attorney Laurel Anne Markus and Sunni Ball, Domestic Relations Program Director at CASA of the Pikes Peak Region, will explore the impact of medical marijuana usage by a parent on the outcome of Colorado domestic relations cases. “Parenting under the influence” is a frequent issue in family law cases. This trend is expected to continue, as medical marijuana usage increases throughout the state of Colorado. Standards for legal usage of marijuana are practically nonexistent, distinguishing marijuana from other prescription drugs or alcohol. In the absence of published case law, family law professionals must be creative advocates when addressing the impact of a parent's marijuana usage on the allocation of parental responsibilities. Appropriate consideration should be given to the diagnosis resulting in the prescription of marijuana; the using parent's prior history of drug or alcohol abuse, if any; the type of marijuana usage; frequency of usage; whether the marijuana is used during parenting time and/or in the children's presence; any precautions taken to protect minors from exposure to marijuana; the need for motor vehicle operation during parenting time; and other fact-specific issues. This one hour session will focus on practical skills, using case studies and recent data to assist the practitioner in preparing to handle these cases.
