Colorado is one of the states that recognizes grandparents’ rights to visitation with (or custody of) grandchildren. These rights are not guaranteed, but if the family law courts find that it is in the best interest of the children, you may be granted these rights.
At Hogan Omidi, PC, our Denver child custody attorneys recognize that each family’s situation is unique. Therefore, we handle your particular circumstances on a case-by-case basis. We have helped many grandparents in Denver and throughout the state seek visitation or custody of their grandchildren.

When Can A Grandparent Sue For Visitation Or Child Custody In Colorado?
There are two Colorado laws that govern grandparents’ rights. The Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act (UDMA) and the Children’s Code.
The UDMA allows grandparents who have had custody of their grandchildren for six months or longer, or in situations where the child is not in the care of a parent, to seek visitation rights or parental responsibilities. This must be done either while the child is being cared for by the grandparents, or within six months of the child being in their care.
The Children’s Code allows grandparents to seek visitation rights with their grandchildren. This may occur if:
- The grandchildren are not living with either parent but with another individual
- The grandchildren are not living with the parent who is the child of the grandparents
- The child of the grandparents has died, and the other parent is not encouraging visitation with the grandparents
Our Denver family law lawyers will discuss your circumstances and your goals with you. We will advise you on how the courts may rule in your case, as well as options available to you. If your grandchildren are the subject of an existing custody battle, you may be able to intervene as part of that case. We will take everything into account as we look for the best resolution so you can see your grandchildren.

I consider Kathleen Hogan a great divorce attorney. I interviewed multiple Denver attorneys before selecting Kathy. And I made the absolute right move by selection Kathleen to represent me. She managed a very difficult divorce process both eloquently and brilliantly. Would I recommend her? Absolutely! You really do want Kathy on your team.
Chelsea L. B.
3 months ago I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Halleh. Going through a divorce is a difficult process but Halleh’s guidance and support throughout was invaluable. Not only was she attentive, detailed, and sympathetic, but she was always prompt in responding to questions and concerns. Her legal advice and insight was spot-on and I would recommend her to anyone needing to retain a family lawyer.

3 months ago Halleh Omidi is a truly exceptional family lawyer. Her legal work and communication are excellent in all ways. Halleh responds quickly and clearly to every question, helps resolve issues, and gives practical advice about the costs and benefits of possible actions. She always is respectful, thorough, and correct. Halleh saves clients money, time, and stress with her advice and advocacy. Her rates are low for how excellent a lawyer she is. I recommend her enthusiastically for anyone facing a family law issue.

11 months ago If you’re a woman considering divorce, know this: you are not alone—and you are not wrong for wanting more. Leaving a marriage is an act of self-advocacy, especially in a world that often expects women to stay quiet and endure. Halleh Omidi is the kind of attorney who understands that. She brings strength, clarity, and strategy to every step of the process. With her at the helm, I felt protected and powerfully represented. Her team—Jennie and Jodi—are organized, kind, and deeply competent. Divorce is hard, but with the right people beside you, it can also be liberating. If you’re ready to reclaim your life, you’ll be in good hands with Halleh.
