Summary

The Colorado supreme court approved the licensure of legal
paraprofessionals (LLPs), which allows LLPs to represent clients and
perform certain types of legal services related to domestic relations
matters, including:
  • Legal separations, declarations of invalidity of marriage, or
dissolutions of marriage or a civil union;
  • Initial allocations or modifications of an allocation of
parental responsibility, including parentage determinations;
  • Matters involving establishment or modification of child
support or maintenance;
  • Seeking, modifying, or terminating a civil protection order;
  • Matters involving a name change; and
  • Matters involving a request for an amended birth certificate
to change the sex designation of an adult.
The bill amends the relevant statutory provisions to align with the
Colorado supreme court rule authorizing the licensure of LLPs.
