Jeremy Monckton
Modern Family Law
Jeremy was born and raised in central Florida and began his legal career as a law clerk at the Third District Court of Appeals in Miami. Eventually, however, the mountains came calling so Jeremy went. After arriving in Colorado, he worked for the court system for over five years, where he served pro se family law litigants and worked closely with multiple judicial officers on domestic relations, civil, and criminal dockets. Since leaving the judicial department, he has dedicated his practice exclusively to family law, including dissolution of marriage, child custody, child support, adoptions, and more.
Jeremy is a rabid sports fan, particularly of football and his beloved Buffalo
Bills, but he is quickly turning into a huge hockey nut as well.
Jeremy is a lifelong musician and a passionate fan of all types of music—in his free time, he attends concerts whenever he can.
Jeremy enjoys trivia, films, and comics, as well as snowboarding, camping, and spending his free time with his cherished wife and animals.

- Q. What is the legal term when a parent gets a quick/rushed custody order, as the child is in danger with the other parent
- A: A motion to restrict parenting time is brought pursuant to C.R.S. 14-10-129(4), and is an emergency motion asking the court to prohibit all unsupervised parenting time with the children by the other parent because the children are in imminent danger of physical or emotional harm with that parent. If granted, the restriction continues until the matter can be addressed at a hearing, which must occur within 14 days. Both parties will be present at the return hearing, at which time the Court will determine whether to continue, modify, or vacate the restriction.
