Child Support Laws in Colorado

Child support payments are generally paid by the noncustodial parent to the parent who has the majority of custody. Under Colorado law, strict and quite complex guidelines have been set up to determine how much a parent is obligated to pay. As parents, you and your spouse (or the child’s other unmarried parent) can determine your own child support but if the amount varies too far from state guidelines, it may not get approval from the court.

Factors Influencing Child Support Payments:

• The number of children being supported
• How much time the child spends with each parent
• The financial resources of both the custodial and noncustodial parent

In cases where a parent becomes delinquent, the courts can enforce child support through various methods, such as contempt of court, potential jail time, fines, and more.

Child support payments can also be modified through the courts when substantial changes in a parent’s or child’s circumstances arise. These can include parental job losses or changes in a child’s medical costs or other needs. Our firm can provide the legal assistance you need in seeking enforcement or modifications.
