00:04
so under colorado law when we’re talking
00:06
about custodial parent we’re talking
00:08
about what we call a post-decree
00:10
relocation and in that instance under
00:13
our statute and case law
00:15
unless the other party agrees then we
00:18
have a contested post-decree relocation
00:21
matter
00:22
and so in that instance our statutory
00:25
framework and from our case law
00:27
gives us several factors that the court
00:29
needs to analyze
00:30
before permitting the children to
00:32
relocate with that parent so for example
00:35
what are the relocating parents reasons
00:37
for
00:38
relocating in terms of a comparison of
00:41
the
00:41
schools at the present location versus
00:44
the schools at the proposed location
00:46
how did those schools compare with one
00:48
another and the various educational
00:50
opportunities for the child
00:51
the court would also analyze the
00:53
presence or absence of extended family
00:55
at the current location versus the
00:57
proposed relocation
00:59
and then the court’s also going to
01:01
examine
01:02
what the effects of the relocation have
01:05
on the minor children
01:06
so we do an analysis of the initial
01:09
statutory factors that we look at in
01:12
terms of the best interests of the child
01:14
and as well these nine other factors
01:16
that i just gave you a couple examples
01:18
of so it’s a pretty robust analysis
