Absolutely. The nature and frequency of the crimes will be taken into consideration to determine the person's fitness as a parent. However, a criminal history will not be the sole deciding factor and rehabilitation programs can be used to show that the parent has changed.

What happens when you are paying child support but being denied visitation and your child resides in a different state?
The non-custodial parent should file for visitation rights for the child in the county where custody was given.

If the custodial parent has too many repeated contempts filed against them, custody can be switched to the other parent.

The father got custody years ago the children are 9 and 14 and he won't let me see them. How old does the child have to be for visitation in Colorado and can I fight for visitation?
Yes of course you can. Visitation rights or shared custody should be settled when they are babies. There should have been a visitation order entered at the time the father was granted custody. There is no age restriction. Unless you were deemed an unfit parent you have the right to a visitation schedule. You should return to the court that issued the custody order and request a visitation schedule.
