More details to this question:
I recently filed to modify child custody in mid-November. Mother is unstable, has drinking problem, has been physically and emotionally abusive to the children. Both children have stated in past that they would like to live with me. My motion was granted without a hearing how common. Is this and can this be a result of other party not responding on time? What is the time limit in Colorado to respond?

Generally a party must file a response to a motion within 21 days. It is not uncommon and usually proper for a judge to grant a motion without a hearing when the opposing party fails to file any timely response.
