Custody Order Violation Concerns

Summary

In Colorado, custody orders require compliance with specific conditions, such as only allowing licensed and insured drivers to transport a child. If a parent violates this by driving without a license or insurance, it may be grounds for modifying the custody order. Refusing to comply with a court-ordered custody arrangement can have legal consequences, but addressing violations through legal channels is possible. Consider documenting violations and filing a motion to modify the order if necessary.

is it considered a third party picking up child if someone else is driving
Hi ****,
In Colorado, if someone other than the parents is driving your child, it could be seen as a third party transporting the child. However, if this person is a licensed and insured driver, it may comply with your custody order.
Would you like more detailed information on how to ensure this complies with your custody order?
yes
Hi ****,
To ensure that someone else driving your child complies with your custody order in Colorado:
- **Confirm License and Insurance:** Ensure that the third party has a valid driver's license and current insurance.
- **Inform the Court:** Notify the court about the third party to avoid any misunderstandings.
