What is the process for siblings to get visitation rights under CO state law

Asked over 3 years ago - Westminster, CO
Family Family Law Visitation Rights

Hi I reside in Colorado and my daughter passed away and left 3 children. Two of the chldren live with the other grandparents on the father's side. And one child lives with me.
They are all under 10 years old. The father of the other 2 kids are not allowing this child that lives with me much time with the other 2. Does anyone know if siblings have visitation rights?

I don't think there is much case law on this that would give you a clear answer (as it is too circumstancial), but my hunch is that you need to get a Child and Family Investigatory involved in this case. They can make recommendations to a court for parenting time based on the best interests of the child. CFI's normally run about $3,000-$5,000 though.
