Lakewood Sole Custody Lawyer

Sole Custody Attorney in Lakewood, CO

In Colorado, an adult can be awarded “sole custody” of a child, though this less common type of custody is referred to using the term sole decision-making. Decision-making for a child involves important issues like education, health care and religion.

In order to be awarded sole custody of a child, a person usually needs to demonstrate to a court that endangerment is factor. If you are concerned about abuse, physical or educational neglect, substance abuse, incarceration or another serious matter that may affect custody of your child or children, seek the advice of an experienced family law attorney.
