JUSTICE RICE delivered the Opinion of the Court.

¶ 1 In this dependency and neglect case, we hold that section 19-3-507(5)(a), C.R.S. (2013), permits parents, grandparents, and relatives to intervene as a matter of right. We further hold that section 19-3-507(5)(a)'s three-month time requirement does not apply to parents, grandparents, or relatives. We accordingly affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
