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.

"My experience with the Johnson Law Group has been nothing more than spectacular."
From the initial phone call I spoke to Myles Johnson, he gave great direction on how to proceed. Then acquiring the firm as my legal representation I worked with Said and he helped me step by step to get what I was looking for. I have already recommended two different individuals I know to Johnson Law Group and will be using them for all future situations. From the legal team to Cory at the front desk, everyone at the firm is top-notch.
