Ensure a fair child support order in denver, cO

A separation between parents is rarely simple. Aside from the emotional toll this can take on a family, there’s more to worry about than simply child custody and the specifics of parenting time arrangements. In reality, it’s important that separating parents agree on how they’ll pay for and financially support their children moving forward. According to Colorado law, financial responsibility for children belongs to both parents. As such, this standard is reflected heavily in court orders relating to child support. However, you might be wondering what the state of Colorado considers a fair child support payment.

Generally speaking, no matter if you come to an agreement or opt to take the decision to trial, child support will be determined based on CRS 14-10-115 and the statutory guidelines it sets forth. Still, the process of determining child support often doesn’t end there. Child support is far from a straightforward issue during separation, and several legal issues will need to be handled, including:

  • The actual child support expenses.
  • How child support will be paid.
  • How those orders will be enforced.

This is only the start of why you should turn to the child support lawyers at Johnson Law Group if you’re ever going through a separation involving children. When you work alongside the expert attorneys at Johnson Law Group, we’ll fight to ensure that you receive the fairest possible outcome. We’ll work to have you treated fairly during the legal process, inside and outside court. You shouldn’t be required to make payments that are outside your reasonable means.

HOW IS CHILD SUPPORT DETERMINED IN COLORADO?

As was mentioned, child support outcomes in Colorado depend on several factors. According to state law, courts are instructed to award all parties with child support in fair amounts; this depends on the circumstances of the individuals involved and the interests and needs of the children in their care. To determine a child support award, the family law courts of Colorado will account for a variety of factors, including:

  • The current financial resources available to the parents.
  • The current financial needs of the parents.
  • The sort of living standard is the child accustomed to, up until the need to determine child support. Additionally, what sort of living standard would the child have had if the separation hadn’t occurred?
  • The financial resources necessary to support the child. This varies quite a bit from case to case, as it is based on unique educational and health requirements.

Despite the standardized child support guidelines, Colorado family law courts may opt to deviate from them if the circumstances of the separation and parties involved merit doing so. Unfortunately, this is far from a rare scenario, and several separating couples in Colorado face these adjustments. Therefore, although the state’s guidelines are the starting place, they’re not the only factors used to determine child support. This is important to keep in mind, as without a family law attorney, these deviations are less likely to occur in your favor. Whenever you need to determine child support payments or make adjustments, you need to consult an experienced Denver child support lawyer.

Our Attorneys Meet Your Legal Team

At Johnson Law Group, our team of skilled and understanding legal professionals proudly provides comprehensive and efficient legal services for all clients.

ENFORCEMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT ORDERS

Although the child support laws set forth by Colorado are strong and detailed, it isn’t always the case that a parent will adhere to them. Unfortunately, in some instances, a parent may attempt not to meet their child support obligations. If a parent is regularly making late or partial support payments, or if a parent is outright refusing to pay support, legal action is encouraged.

When you hire a Denver child support enforcement attorney, you’ll receive guidance on how to best approach the situation. However, regardless of the circumstances, you are entitled to fair and adequate financial help from the other parent. Otherwise, the child could be negatively impacted, and their quality of life could be harmed. This isn’t acceptable, and the courts indeed take matters like these seriously.

Some potential remedies during child support enforcement are:

  • Contempt of court
  • Asset seizure
  • Wage garnishment, and more

Under Colorado law, noncompliant individuals can accrue an interest rate of 12% per year on unpaid child support—this sum is compounded monthly.
