What are my rights as a dad for my children? I have 4 kids, and I have been the primary caretaker for 10 years?
Asked in Centennial, CO on March 12, 2026 Last answered on May 18, 2026Wife has given me an ultimatum to let her continue her personal guy friendships, with no more transparency. Phone privacy, e mail privacy, confided friendship privacy, psychiatrist privacy, therapist privacy. I dont like the ultimatum and all, and it is in response to a boundary I had set.

Family law courts are interested in what is in the "best interest" of the children in a divorce action. Parents have a constitutional right to parent their children but this right is not unlimited and has limitations, such as the best interest of the children. In a divorce, the court will determine parenting time and decision making responsibilities for children considering the several "best interest" factors. One such factor is not if your wife has "guy"friends and/or an affair, unless it impacts the children, which is rarely does. if this is the reason for you to seek a dissolution of marriage, Colorado is also a no fault divorce state.
