You're considering filing an emergency motion to restrict parenting time.
But should you?
If you file the motion, the Colorado statute states that further parenting time has to be supervised, and the Court must schedule a hearing within 14 days.
The restriction means the other parent will only be allowed visitation under the supervision of an unrelated third party.
However
If you cannot justify the restriction on parenting time to the Court, unsupervised parenting time will resume, and you may be required to pay the other parent's attorney fees and costs.

Before you agree to a division during settlement talks, you should discuss your options with a Denver divorce attorney familiar with high-asset and complex divorces.
In some cases, your attorney will recommend a forensic accountant. A forensic accountant will ensure you know about all assets in your spouse’s name.
They can also handle tasks such as valuing stocks and stock options and explaining your best options for getting the fair division you deserve.

How long you have to pay spousal support depends on a few different factors.
You can pay spousal support for a short time or continue making payments even after you retire.
