Supervised visitation across Jefferson County

Jefferson County — "Jeffco" to locals — runs the entire western edge of the Denver metro, from Westminster's west side down through Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, and Littleton's western neighborhoods, and up into the foothills communities of Evergreen, Conifer, and Morrison. Nearly 580,000 people live here, spread between dense suburbs and mountain canyons.

TruVisit Denver supervisors meet Jefferson 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 Jefferson County District Court

Jefferson County family law cases — including supervised parenting time orders — are heard in Colorado's First Judicial District (Jefferson and Gilpin counties) at the Jefferson Combined Court, 100 Jefferson County Parkway in Golden.

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 Jefferson County family law case typically moves

  1. 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 Golden (or by e-filing). The other party is served.
  2. Response — typically due 21 days after service for in-state parties.
  3. Initial Status Conference — Colorado domestic relations cases begin with an early case-management conference, typically within the first several weeks of filing.
  4. Mandatory financial disclosures — both parties exchange financial information early in the case under Colorado's domestic relations rules.
  5. Temporary orders hearing (if requested) — for interim parenting time, decision-making, and child support. Supervised parenting time can be ordered here.
  6. Mediation — commonly required before contested hearings in the 1st Judicial District.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
