Samuel Collin Robinson v. Katherine Lyman Freeman, fka Katherine Lyman Robinson

Questions to Review Time with each parent is allocated to children of divorce according to state statute listing some of the factors to be considered by courts. Colorado Revised Statutes 14-10-124(1.5)(a)(I) - (XI). Similar factors are used in all 50 states. The list does not include evaluation standards for its various topics. This absence prompts questions of law. Does lack of objective criteria leave the factors so vague that they fail to give parents adequate notice of what must be done to receive equal parenting time? Should the factors be struck down as unconstitutional for violating the Due Process provision of the 14th Amendment? Without specific standards, can the factors be dispositive? May a motion to modify parenting time be summarily denied for declining to recite the litany?
