Custody of child, mother is being deported

In Colorado, the jurisdiction for purposes of child custody matters will most likely follow the child's last 6 months of residence. Although it is more complicated than that, that is the basic rule. If the child has lived in Colorado for the last 6 months, then the Colorado Courts will have jurisdiction over the case and the UK Solicitor will likely not be able to fight that (the law that applies is called the UCCJEA). It sounds like there is a lot going on in the case and there may very well be some rights that can be exercised (even though through Colorado Courts), but you had probably better get a start on doing that right now. If his conduct is really terrible and there are drugs around, etc., social services can also trump the normal jurisdictional rules and make their own determination as to what is best for the child. In any case, it sounds like this case is in desperate need of a child custody attorney who practices divorce law.
