Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado
Colorado child abandonment laws
My husband and I currently have physical custody of my husbands son. His mother hasn't contacted us for about 30 days and has never paid anything in child support.At what point would it be possible to have rights taken from her due to abandonment?

Re: Colorado child abandonment laws
One year of either no contact or no child support is sufficient to ask the court to find she has abandoned him. It is also possible for her to relinquish her parental rights voluntarily, if you are willing to adopt. The advantage to her is that she would no longer be liable for child support and your husband has the option of agreeing to relinquish his claim on any child support arrearage.
