Helping Non-Biological Parents Obtain Rights For Children In The Denver Area

If you are the psychological parent for a child, the Denver law firm of Littman Family Law may be able to help you obtain certain rights. However, this is a very difficult and challenging process requiring skilled and diligent representation.

Colorado courts will sometimes allow a non-biological parent who has regularly cared for a child for a period of six months or more to establish parental rights and responsibilities. In some circumstances, a determination may be made that a stepparent or other long-term caregiver has become a “psychological parent” and may have certain rights and responsibilities for a child. While the threshold question is whether the child has been in the care of the non-biological parent for a period of six months or more, the court will then consider a series of other factors to determine whether granting custody or visits to a non-parent are in the best interest of the child.
