Fathers' Rights Groups in Colorado

It is not uncommon for non-custodial fathers to feel left out of certain aspects of their children's upbringing. Although obligated to pay child support, fathers are, at times, not actively involved in decisions regarding medical care, education, religious training and living arrangements. In Colorado, fathers' rights groups offer support and tools necessary to avoid difficulties in being active in the lives of children.
