Exclamation

I signed a divorce contract in Colorado that I am not happy with, what can I do to change it? In the contract it states that my parenting time in contingent on me staying alcohol free and that family and friend are not allowed to consume alcohol in front of my children. I want to change or delete this. Please help me. He will take me to court if I have a glass of wine at Christmas dinner.

If you signed the agreement, then you have to abide by that. You can petition the courts to have it changed, but there usually has to be a change in circumstance in order to change the current order. I presume that there is a reason that it was in the agreement, and since it's this kind of issue you probably won't get far with the change. Sorry this is probably not what you want to hear, but there is an obvious reason for the agreement. Unless you can prove that it wouldn't be in your childs best interest or your best interest to change the order, you are out of luck. With the topic you stated, a judge will probably let you know that your children should come first, and if you want to consume alcohol then do it when the children are not around. If I were you, I probably wouldn't touch that with a judge, you might get your arse chewed big time, and may even come out of there not as good as you went in. Good luck to you.
