Joint or sole custody will be determined with regard to the best interests of the child, without regard to the sex of the parent, and after considering the following factors:
(1) the preference of the child; (2) the desire and ability of each parent to allow an open and loving frequent relationship between the child and the other parent; (3) the wishes of the parents; (4) the child's adjustment to his or her home, school, and community; (5) the mental and physical health of all individuals involved; (6) the relationship of the child with parents, siblings, and other significant family members; (7) any child abuse or spouse abuse by either parent; (8) whether a parent's past involvement with the child reflects a system of values, time commitment, and mutual support; (9) the physical proximity of the parties to each other; and (10) the ability of each party to place the needs of the child ahead of his or her own needs. Visitation may be restricted if there is a danger to the child.
Joint custody may be awarded on the petition of both parents if they submit a reasonable plan for custody. The plan submitted to the court for joint custody should address the following issues: (1) the location of each parent; (2) the periods of time during which each parent will have physical custody of the child; (3) the Legal residence of the child; (4) the child's education; (5) the child's religious training, if any; (6) the child's health care; (7) finances to provide for the child's needs; (8) holidays and vacations; and (9) any other factors affecting the physical or emotional health or well-being of the child.
The actual joint custody award is based on all of the factors involved in standard custody decisions and on the following additional factors: (1) the ability of the parents to cooperate and make decisions jointly; (2) whether the past pattern of involvement of the parents with the child reflects a system of values and mutual support which indicates the parent's ability as joint custodians to provide a positive and nourishing relationship with the child; and (3) whether an award of joint custody will promote more frequent or continuing contact between the child and each of the parents. [Colorado Revised Statutes; Article 10, Sections 14-123, 14-124, and 14-129].
