CO HB1162

Creates process for sexual assault victims to petition juvenile court to terminate parental rights of the perpetrator when a child was conceived as a result of the assault, applicable to convictions on or after July 1, 2013.

Establishes separate procedure for cases where sexual assault occurred but no conviction was obtained, allowing victims to file termination petitions based on clear and convincing evidence that assault occurred and child resulted from it.

Requires courts to appoint guardian ad litem for the child, provide petitioner with legal representation or fee waiver, and issue protective orders to prevent contact between parties and protect whereabouts confidentiality.

Terminates parental rights including decision-making authority, parenting time, and inheritance rights, though respondent remains liable for child support and birth-related costs unless waived by petitioner.

Amends family law provisions to create rebuttable presumption that allocating parental responsibilities to a party who sexually assaulted the other party is not in the child's best interests, and allows restriction of parenting time in such cases.
