Fort Collins Child Support Lawyers
Child Support Attorney in Fort Collins
Get the Fort Collins Child Support Number Right the First Time
Child support in Colorado runs on a statutory formula, which makes the inputs the whole ballgame. Income, overnights, health insurance, and childcare all move the number, and the guideline itself changed on March 1, 2026. Johnson Law Group works as the North Star for Fort Collins parents, getting those inputs documented before a judge signs anything.
Our Fort Collins office is on East Harmony Road near the Interstate 25 interchange. Support work is document-heavy, so most of it happens by secure upload and video, with in-person meetings whenever you want them. You will know what we need and why before you go hunting for it.

Family Law We Handle in Fort Collins
Support is a number, but it is rarely the only thing being decided. Parenting time drives the calculation, and parentage has to be settled before an order can exist at all. For the formula itself and how the inputs work, start with how child support is calculated in Colorado.
These related matters often travel with it:
- Alimony: Colorado’s approach to spousal maintenance, from eligibility through duration.
- Child custody: Parenting time and decision-making, what Colorado calls parental responsibilities.
- Divorce: Ending a marriage, from filing through the final decree.
- Guardianship: Legal authority to care for a minor or an incapacitated adult.
- Paternity: Establishing legal parentage and the rights and duties that follow.
- Property division: Dividing marital property and debt, including homes, businesses, and retirement accounts.

Johnson Law Group 2580 E. Harmony Road, #201 Fort Collins, CO 80528 Office line: (720) 821-7014 | Larimer County and Northern Colorado | Eighth Judicial District, Larimer County Justice Center, 201 LaPorte Avenue, Suite 100, Fort Collins, CO 80521. Filings go through the Clerk of Court’s office in Suite 100. |
The Eighth Judicial District covers Larimer and Jackson counties, and its domestic relations dockets sit at the Larimer County Justice Center in downtown Fort Collins. Our Harmony Road office is roughly 15 to 20 minutes from the courthouse, depending on traffic. Colorado’s e-filing system also lets us file and track most case documents without a trip downtown.
The Justice Center houses a Court Resource Center that assists self-represented litigants in Larimer and Jackson counties. Under Colorado’s domestic relations rule, an initial status conference is set no later than 42 days after the petition is filed. Attorneys on both sides can file a stipulated case management plan instead.

Why Fort Collins Families Trust Johnson Law Group
The first call is not a sales call. We listen to what is happening in your family and what you want to protect. You will leave with a clear read on where you stand, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
We audit the inputs before we argue about the output. Bonuses, self-employment income, overnight counts, and insurance costs are where support cases are actually won or lost. Getting those right the first time is cheaper than modifying an order later.
A client portal that keeps you in the loop. Real-time alerts, case milestones, and billing visibility, included at no additional cost. You will always know where your case stands.
We are staffed for income that does not fit a paycheck. Business owners, commission earners, and equity compensation land here regularly. The firm’s footprint across Colorado, Illinois, and Wyoming means an out-of-state payor does not require a second law firm.
No outcome guarantees, only preparation. No lawyer can promise a particular result, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. What we commit to is the preparation, strategy, and communication that give your case its strongest footing.
What to Expect When You Call
Our consultation process is straightforward and built around three things you need before any decisions get made:
- We listen first. Tell us what is happening. The short version is fine, and we will ask the questions that matter.
- We explain what Colorado law says. In plain English, with no lecture and no scare tactics.
- We map your next step. You will leave knowing what comes next: filing, responding, gathering records, or taking time to think it through.
