- Q. When having a person served papers do you have tp use a process server or sheriff.
- A: When serving process on a person in Colorado under Colorado Rule of Civil Procedure (C.R.C.P.) 4, any person who is a US citizen 18 years of age or older can be the process server. That person can be a private process server, a Sheriff's deputy, or even a friend or relative of the party to the case who wants service of process accomplished. After serving process, the person serving process then fills out an "affidavit of service" or "return of service" document that a party to the case files with the court. Service of process means the process server gave you legal "notice" of the case by putting the papers in your hands or by giving the papers to someone ... Read More
- Q. After the CFI report has been filed, and the magistrate said supplemental/rebuttal report needs filed within 14 days…
- A: You can always challenge the CFI's conclusions and recommendations if you believe that a third party told a lie to the CFI and the CFI relied on that lie in coming to a conclusion or recommendation in the CFI's report. If you are filing a rebuttal document, make sure to attach the relevant documents that prove that the statements made by the third parties are not true.

When you say the magistrate said that a "supplemental/rebuttal report" should be submitted within ... Read More
- Q. I’m in a custody case what form is it to get a default judgment order so I can have the other person drop from case.
- A: In Colorado, you can ask the court to set a "default judgment hearing" if the other side just goes "radio silent" like this. At a default judgment hearing, the other side may be limited in the evidence they can put before the judge because the other side has not complied with any of the rules or filed a response. That puts you in a favorable position as your evidence will be the majority (or all) of the evidence the court looks at.
If the other side is the mother of the child (and you are the father), then the court will not "drop the person from the case". The court may completely side with you and give you a very favorable outcome, but the mother of the ... Read More
