How to Request Grandparent or Great-Grandparent Visitation
A maternal or paternal grandparent of a child may seek a court order granting grandparent reasonable visitation rights when there is or has been judicial intervention into the marriage of the child’s parents, a judicial placement of the child(ren) outside their family, or the death of the grandparent’s child.
Use the process outlined on Request Grandparent or Great-Grandparent Visitation to ask for visitation, as per C.R.S. §19-1-117 (Colorado Revised Statutes).
To ask for decision-making authority or to be a part of the parenting time schedule, visit Get Custody and/or Child Support without a Marriage or Civil Union to see if you qualify, then use JDF 1703 Petition for Custody (Grandparents).
