What’s The Best Interest Of Children?
In the context of child custody cases, focusing on “what’s in the children’s best interests” means that all custody and visitation discussions and decisions are made with the ultimate goal of fostering and encouraging the child’s happiness, security, mental health, and emotional development into young adulthood. It’s usually in the child’s best interests to maintain a close and loving relationship with both parents, but the practicalities of promoting and maintaining such relationships can be a challenge. Mediation is an excellent way to help resolve any issues around this.
Custody or parental responsibilities?
Parental Responsibilities is a term that includes both parenting time and decision-making responsibilities regarding the children. The term “Custody” is no longer used in Colorado. When you get divorced in Colorado, the Court will ask you to determine the ALLOCATION OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES (Decision-Making and Parenting Time).

Colorado Divorce Mediator
Hello! I’m Liz
I'm a mom, a divorce mediator, and coach, with a twist – I call myself a transformational conflict coach. Why? Well, after my own rough divorce, I realized things could be different.
I went through the wringer, spending way too much money and feeling way too anxious.
But it hit me: it doesn't have to be that hard.
So, I made it my mission to help folks navigate conflict without all the drama. I've worked with hundreds of people, helping them sidestep the courtroom drama and save a ton of cash. Want to know what they've had to say? Check out my Google reviews.
