Ensuring Financial Security for Your Children: Navigating Child Support in Colorado

The Challenge of Meeting Children’s Financial Needs Post-Separation

When parents separate or divorce, one of the most pressing concerns is how to maintain financial stability for their children. You may worry about covering essential expenses like housing, education, healthcare, and daily necessities. Ensuring your children’s needs are met while adjusting to a new financial reality can be overwhelming.

 

Navigating the Complexities of Child Support Calculations

Another significant hurdle is understanding how child support is determined in Colorado. Factors such as income levels, parenting time, and additional expenses can all influence support amounts. Without proper guidance, you might struggle to ensure a fair and accurate calculation that truly reflects your children’s needs and your financial situation.

Understanding Colorado’s Child Support Laws

In Colorado, child support is calculated using the Income Shares Model, which considers both parents’ incomes and the amount of time each parent spends with the child. The state provides guidelines that take into account factors such as childcare costs, health insurance expenses, and extraordinary medical expenses.

 

What to Expect in the Child Support Process

The process of determining child support in Colorado typically involves:

  1. Gathering financial information from both parents
  2. Calculating support using state guidelines
  3. Addressing any deviations from the guidelines based on special circumstances
  4. Negotiating terms if parents disagree on the calculated amount
  5. Finalizing the support order through the court

 

Our attorneys will guide you through each phase, ensuring your children’s financial needs are accurately represented and advocated for.

Client Opinions & Reviews

"...Caroline helped me with my divorce and relocation of my son from Texas to Colorado. She was able to get my ex to agree outside of court and we reached a full agreement on everything. She held my hand throughout the process and always answered my questions. Just this past year my ex was not paying child support, and she helped me work with Child Support Enforcement and to locate his new employer so we could garnish his wages. I recommend Caroline highly and will continue to use her as my attorney in the future."
Cathleen Thompson
"Caroline Cooley is a top notch attorney and her team is exceptional. I have experience with many other attorneys and she stands out head and shoulders above the rest. She is so nice, fair, and professional. On my case, she was two steps ahead of the opposing cancel at every step and was awesome to watch. Megan Urioste, the paralegal was professional, friendly, on spot, and made things easy. Chris Linas, Associate Attorney, was very professional, prepared, kind, and provided exceptional support as well. What a team. My divorce was in good hands and all ended perfectly. The opposition was convinced it was fair. She saved me well over $100,000. Truthfully. I highly recommend."
