How Child Support Works in Colorado
Child support is typically determined using a statutory formula that considers several key factors. Getting each one right can meaningfully affect the outcome.
Each parent's gross income is factored into the calculation.
The number of children affects the total support obligation.
Number of overnight stays directly impacts the support amount.
Health insurance and childcare costs are included in the formula.
Establishing Child Support
Child support may be established as part of several types of proceedings. We help ensure income is accurately calculated, all relevant factors are considered, and orders are fair and legally sound.
Modifying Child Support
Child support is not always permanent. It can be modified when circumstances change. If your situation has changed, you may have the right to request a modification.
Enforcing Child Support Orders
When child support is not being paid, there are legal tools available to recover what is owed. We help parents take the appropriate steps to enforce court-ordered support.
Deviations From Guidelines
In some cases, courts may deviate from standard guidelines. We advocate for fair outcomes that reflect your actual situation rather than a default calculation.
Child Support & Parenting Time
Parenting time can directly impact child support calculations. More overnight stays can shift financial responsibilities and reduce the amount of support owed. We help ensure both arrangements align properly.
We ensure both parties' income is properly documented and calculated for a fair result.
Overnight counts can shift support amounts significantly, and we make sure yours are accurate.
Health insurance, childcare, and other qualified expenses belong in the calculation.
When standard guidelines don't reflect your situation, we argue for an appropriate deviation.
We help identify when a substantial change in circumstances justifies revisiting the order.
When the other party fails to pay, we take the legal steps necessary to collect what is owed.
