Should i go back to court and what should I file for?

Where a party seeks to change custody or decision-making responsibility in Colorado, the court cannot modify its permanent orders unless it finds, upon the basis of facts that have arisen since the prior decree or that were unknown to the court at the time of the prior decree, that a change has occurred in the circumstances of the child or the child’s custodian or party to whom decision-making responsibility was allocated and that a modification is necessary to serve the best interests of the child. In applying these standards, the court must retain the prior allocation of parental responsibility unless: (1) the parties agree to the modification; (2) the child has been integrated into the family of the moving party with the consent of the other party and such situation warrants a change in the allocation of decision-making responsibility; (3) there has been a modification of parenting time pursuant to C.R.S. § 14-10-129 that warrants a modification of decision-making as well; (4) a party has consistently consented to the moving party making individual decisions for the child which the other party was to make individually or the parties were to make mutually; or (5) the current decision-making allocation endangers the child’s physical health or significantly impairs the child’s emotional development and the harm likely to be caused by a change of environment is outweighed by the advantage of a change to the child.
