In Colorado, grandparents may have the right to petition the court for "family time" with their grandchildren under certain circumstances. Here's a general overview:
Eligibility: Grandparents can petition the court if there has been a child custody case or a case concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities.
Best Interests of the Child: The court's primary concern is always the best interests of the child. There is a presumption that the parents' decision regarding grandparent visitation is in the child's best interest.
Overcoming the Presumption: Grandparents must prove through clear and convincing evidence that family time is in the child's best interest.
