In Colorado custody cases, one of the first determinations the Court will make is where the children will reside most of the time. Terms used to describe the parent with primary custody include: “primary residential parent” or “primary care parent.” Because each case is unique, the definition of primary custody will vary from case to case, and when the parents share parenting time equally, one parent is designated the “primary residential parent” for purposes of calculating child support, tax exemptions, tax filing status, etc. hope this helps!!
Courts interpret the law by explaining or clarifying what the law means. A court might interpret law from a constitution, a statute, or an agency regulation. Courts also make laws when they determine the validity of laws.
