Child Support in Colorado

Providing financial support for your child is a critical responsibility, and child support plays a key role in ensuring that your child’s basic needs and well-being are met. Child support helps cover essential expenses such as housing, food, clothing, education, medical care, and extracurricular activities. While the concept may seem straightforward, the process of calculating, establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders can be legally complex and emotionally challenging.

​

In Colorado, child support amounts are calculated using statewide guidelines set forth in Colorado Revised Statutes § 14-10-115. These guidelines consider several important factors, including both parents’ incomes, the number of children involved, parenting time arrangements, health insurance costs, and other child-related expenses.

​

Our experienced legal team works closely with you to accurately assess your financial situation, gather necessary documentation, and advocate for a child support order that is fair and consistent with Colorado law.

​

Modifying Child Support Orders

Life circumstances can change, and Colorado law allows for modifications to child support orders when there is at least a ten percent (10%) change in the child support obligation. This could include changes in income, employment status, parenting time, or the child’s needs. We assist clients in petitioning the court to modify child support orders when appropriate, ensuring that support remains fair and adequate as situations evolve.

​

Enforcing Child Support Orders

Unfortunately, enforcement of child support orders can become necessary when payments are late or not made at all. Colorado has various enforcement mechanisms to help parents collect support, including wage garnishment and contempt of court proceedings. Our legal team guides clients through these enforcement options to secure the financial support their children deserve.
