Relocation: geographic ties, and a doctrine that splits at the decree

When a majority-time parent seeks to relocate with the child in a way that substantially changes geographic ties, § 14-10-129's machinery engages — reasons for the move, reasons for the objection, and the child's interests, on the statute's own factor frame. Colorado case law splits the analysis at the decree line: the initial-allocation posture and the post-decree-modification posture run different presumption frames (the Spahmer and Ciesluk line — case-law doctrine, labeled as such on this platform, never paraphrased as statute).

The honest note

Relocation is among the most fact-intensive calls in family law — organizers structure the record; counsel earns the close calls.
