How Child Support Works in Colorado
Child support ensures that both parents contribute to their child’s well-being, covering essential expenses like food, housing, healthcare, and education. In Colorado, the amount of child support is determined based on state guidelines that consider several factors.
- Each parent’s income – The court evaluates both parents’ earnings to calculate fair support payments.
- Parenting time allocation – The number of overnight stays each parent has affects the child support amount.
- Child-related expenses – Health insurance, daycare, education, and medical costs are included in the calculations.
- Special needs considerations – If a child has medical or educational needs, additional support may be required.
Every case is unique, and our attorneys ensure that child support agreements are fair, accurate, and legally sound.

Our FAQ
-
How Is Child Support Calculated in Colorado?
Child support is based on a formula that considers both parents’ incomes, parenting time, and child-related expenses. The court ensures that both parents contribute fairly to their child’s financial needs.
-
Can Child Support Be Modified?
Yes, modifications are allowed if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, custody arrangements, or the child’s needs. You must file a request with the court.
-
What Happens if a Parent Doesn’t Pay Child Support?
Failure to pay child support can result in wage garnishment, license suspension, tax refund interception, or even legal penalties, including contempt of court.
-
Does Child Support Cover College Expenses?
No, child support in Colorado generally ends when the child turns 19, unless special provisions are made for extended support, such as covering higher education costs.
-
Can Child Support Be Ordered if the Parents Were Never Married?
Yes, but paternity must first be legally established. Once confirmed, the court follows the same child support guidelines as for married parents.
-
What if the Paying Parent Moves Out of State?
Child support orders remain valid across state lines under federal law, and enforcement actions can still be taken in the new state.

How Long Does Child Support Last in Colorado?
Until the child turns 19, or longer if they’re still in high school or have a disability.

I hired Johnson law group for an adoption matter. I worked with Daniel Sol as my attorney and his assistant Katie Wilson. They were with me every step of the way. Daniel listened to all of my concerns and helped to address all issues. Without their assistance and guidance, I would have had a much harder time making it through my case! I highly recommend Daniel sol, Katie Wilson and Johnson law group

Shana Velazquez and Julie Hernandez helped me with my divorce and they were amazing. Shana was so good about explaining everything to me and calming my anxiety. Being 64 and going through a divorce was very daunting to me and I appreciate their help and kind words more than words can say. I highly recommend them!

Before working with Johnson Law. I had a previous attorney who completely screwed us over. He definitely only took us on for the money. He had no communication, mixed us up with different clients and so much more. So my husband and I were very scared working with a different attorney and getting screwed over again but we took the chance with Johnson law. We are currently working with Shana Velez, Kristina Contreras, and Julie Hernandez. After expressing my concerns because of the previous attorney they have kept amazing communication with me. They know who they are speaking to every time, they know my case, and they definitely don’t try to just take my money. They do their best to save me money as much as they can! These ladies have done such an amazing job with my case so far! 10/10 highly recommend! I will be back with another review once we are done working with them :)- Sierra S.

I came to the Johnson Law Group during a time of extreme stress. Andrea Dalton accepted my case and made me feel right at ease. She is compassionate, gives sound advice, and helped me obtain over $20,000 that my ex husband was illegally withholding from me. I appreciate her for giving me the confidence to stand up for myself. If I have any issues with my ex in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out to Andrea for help.
