How to Modify a Court Order
The procedural steps to file a motion to modify a parenting plan, support order, maintenance order, or decision-making allocation in Colorado, including which forms to use, what to include in the motion, service requirements, and what happens at a modification hearing. The process varies somewhat depending on the type of modification sought: parenting time modifications (C.R.S. 14-10-129), decision-making modifications (C.R.S. 14-10-131), and financial order modifications (C.R.S. 14-10-122) each involve different pleading requirements and legal standards that must be addressed in the motion.
