Parental responsibility is the new legal term for child custody and related matters. Regardless of the terminology used, the goal is the same: To do what is in the best interest of your child. At our law firm, we will take the time to learn about you, your child, and both of your needs. Our lawyers will build a legal strategy to meet those needs. At the Law Office of Eric Ruderman, we are here for you.

Parental responsibility guidelines are meant to provide both parents time with their child. The intention is to foster a relationship between children and parents, while making certain the child receives the attention and resources needed to grow up happy and healthy. Of course, our attorneys understand that this is the ideal. It is not necessarily possible in every case. We are here to find out what works for you and pursue that through mediation or in court.

Parental responsibility can be broken down into two components: decision making and parenting time. Decision making refers to the power to make important decisions about a child's education, healthcare, religion, and other matters. Parenting time is the amount of time spent with each parent. Each component can be divided between the mother and father, or it can be held solely by one parent. Decision making and parenting time are based on a wide variety of factors, including the age of your child, the distance between parents, and occupation.

At the Law Office of Eric Ruderman, we are here to help you determine what will work best for you and your child. Our attorneys are available to assist people in Denver and throughout Jefferson County, Colorado and beyond.
