Cecily Riney is a family law specialist at Skulborstad Legal Group who is deeply committed to victim advocacy and public policy reform in Colorado. She is a member of the Colorado Women's Bar Association Policy Action Committee, Rose Andom VOICES, the Rose Andom Young Professionals Committee, and the National Safe Parents Organization (NSPO). Cecily is actively involved in authoring domestic violence and family court reform legislation and regularly testifies before the Colorado legislature in support of meaningful change. As a domestic violence victim-survivor and protective parent, she brings both lived experience and fierce advocacy to her work.

Cecily played a central role in contributing to, lobbying for, and testifying in support of HB26-1309 — landmark Colorado legislation addressing family court measures related to forms of abuse in divorce and custody cases. Signed into law on May 27, 2026, this bill is now controlling law in Colorado and represents a significant step forward in protecting children and abused parents in custody proceedings, including explicit protections against litigation abuse in domestic violence cases.

Join us for a conversation with Cecily as she walks us through the bill, breaks down what it actually means, and helps us understand the real-world implications and practical applications for Colorado protective parents.
