The state of Colorado firmly believes that children need to be supported by both parents in every possible way, and this support includes finances. If you are separated from your child’s parent, setting up a child support order is the best way to ensure that your child is provided for and that you are taking on the fair share of the financial responsibility of having a child.

If you are going through a divorce with the parent of your child, your child support order will be detailed in your parenting plan.

Parenting plans are agreements involving custody, visitation schedules, child support, and any other legal matters involving the child. If you and the parent of your child cannot agree on a parenting plan, then a judge will make the final decision.

In the state of Colorado, child support is determined according to the child’s needs and the non-custodial parent’s capacity to make payment.

In contested cases, a judge will conduct a review of the case to see how much the non-custodial parent is responsible for paying. Additional reviews, or modifications of child support, may result in an increase or decrease in the amount of child support to be paid.

Here at the law office of the Denver Family Lawyer, we have many years of experience working with judges to negotiate the best child support agreement for our clients.
