Supervised visitation across Douglas County
Douglas County fills the high ground between Denver and Colorado Springs — roughly 390,000 residents across Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, and the rural stretches toward Larkspur and Sedalia. It is consistently ranked among the fastest-growing and most family-dense counties in Colorado, which means its family court docket has grown quickly too.
TruVisit Denver supervisors meet Douglas County families at locations close to where the child lives. We don't charge mileage and we don't make families drive across the county to a fixed office.
The Douglas County District Court — and Colorado's newest judicial district
Douglas County family law cases — including supervised parenting time orders — are heard by the Douglas County District Court at the Douglas County Justice Center, 4000 Justice Way in Castle Rock. In January 2025, Douglas County became the anchor of Colorado's new 23rd Judicial District (Douglas, Elbert, and Lincoln counties) — the state's first new judicial district since 1965, split off from the 18th Judicial District.
Our session reports are formatted in the objective, non-editorial, timestamped style this court expects. They're designed to be filed directly with the court, delivered to your attorney, or shared with a Child and Family Investigator or the child's legal representative.

How a Douglas County family law case typically moves
- Petition filed — a dissolution of marriage petition, or a Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (form JDF 1413) for unmarried parents, filed with the district court in Castle Rock (or by e-filing). The other party is served.
- Response — typically due 21 days after service for in-state parties.
- Initial Status Conference — Colorado domestic relations cases begin with an early case-management conference, typically within the first several weeks of filing.
- Mandatory financial disclosures — both parties exchange financial information early in the case under Colorado's domestic relations rules.
- Temporary orders hearing (if requested) — for interim parenting time, decision-making, and child support. Supervised parenting time can be ordered here.
- Mediation — commonly required before contested hearings in the 23rd Judicial District.
- Permanent orders hearing — for cases that don't settle, a bench trial before a district court judge. Colorado does not use juries in domestic relations cases.
- Decree / permanent orders.
Where supervised parenting time enters the process
- At Temporary Orders — interim supervised parenting time while the case is pending
- In Permanent Orders — longer-term supervised parenting time as part of the parenting plan
- By Motion to Modify Parenting Time (form JDF 1406) — changing an existing order under C.R.S. § 14-10-129
- By Motion to Restrict Parenting Time under C.R.S. § 14-10-129(4) — when a parent alleges imminent physical or emotional danger to the child, the court sets a hearing within 14 days
