Knowledge and Experience
Interstate Custody Disputes
(UCCJEA Cases)
Relocation can also involve interstate child custody issues and in these case, an understanding of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) is essential. This is a difficult and confusing area of the law. I have the knowledge, understanding, and experience required for these cases. I can advise you and litigate the important issues that a court must consider such as:
l What is the "home state" of the child?
l Where is the bulk of the evidence concerning the child?
l What is the most convenient forum to hear the case?
l What state should have jurisdiction?
The Law Offices of Fred Andrew Dunsing handles only family law matters. I have the trial experience and knowledge of the case law to represent your interests in this high-stakes, highly emotional litigation. I can meet with you in my Denver or Avon offices and offer a free consultation. I will personally handle every aspect of your case.
I have fought many battles where allegations of substance abuse, violence, or neglect are fabricated by the party seeking to move. Contact me at my Denver or Avon office. I can prepare you for what to expect and help you stand up for your rights as a parent.
Relocation
COLORADO RELOCATION ATTORNEY
Removal Proceedings in Colorado
The judicial atmosphere regarding parent relocation has changed over the past few years. Colorado courts were formerly adverse to removing children from the jurisdiction under the presumption that is was harmful to the child's relationship with the non-custodial parent. After recent rulings, judges are more neutral on the issues and are required to evaluate removal on a case-by-case basis using a "best interests" standard.
It is critical to have veteran representation. I prepare clients to present a compelling argument for or against the relocation in the parenting time modification hearing, and to anticipate questions the judge or opposing counsel will ask:
l What is the reason for moving (or why do you object)?
l What extended family or support would the child have in each location?
l What educational and cultural opportunities would the child be exposed to (or denied)?
l Has the petitioning parent been the primary caretaker of the child since birth?
l Will the parent left behind have reasonable child visitation and be able to participate in parental decisions?
