Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

Runaway son

I have with my moved to MO. from CO. over 3 years ago, with my children (2 from a previous marriage) the approval of my ex and the court.In this stipulation the venue would move from one county to another, with the state keeping all juristdiction over the case. My 14yr son went to live with his father (against my wishes) We have joint custody, Im primary. My ex has motion the court to move the the venue (I have no problem with this) He is also asked for temporary adjustment of child support, and to change custody of this child. In our sitipulation (for the move) we have an Alternative dispute ressolution plan. ''We agreed if there was a dispute regarding parention time, a requested adjustment of the schedule or reimbursement of an expense, then the party raising the dispute shall submit the dispute to The office of dispute prior to filling any motion with the court''. Here are my questions

1.Do the issues brought up in his motion apply to this resolution plan?

2.Do I need to respond to this motion? If so how much time do I have to respond?

3.Would I still be able to recieve child support for our other son that is with me?

I have many more questions, but your help with these will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Runaway son

The issues brought up in his motion *do* apply to this resolution plan. You have 15 days to respond; however, if the court has not acted, you can still respond. You should still receive child support for the child with you. If you have more questions, you can call 877-DIV-ATTY (348-2889) toll free.
