Need Help with Child Support in Colorado? Contact the Johnson Sauer Legal Group, LLC
If you are going through a divorce with children, you may be worried about how the system of child support in Colorado works. Fortunately, the Colorado divorce laws are designed to structure child support very clearly. A formula has been put together that calculates child support that parents in Colorado are responsible for paying.
This formula has several different variables that impact who is responsible for what percentage. For example, gross income is a major factor. Gross income is considered to be any income that a party receives before any deductions are taken out. If the spouse currently has no source of income, a court may estimate this number based on the income history of the person. If the person is a stay at home caregiver with a small child, for example, then an exception may be made. Gross income is often the starting point for calculating child support.
Another important factor in child support for Colorado parents is the number of overnight stays that a parent has with the minor child. A base threshold is used to determine whether or not overnights will be considered in the calculations. Currently, this threshold is 94 overnights. If a parent has the child for more than 93 overnight stays in a given year, then a different formula is used to calculate the child support – and the number of overnight stays will remain a factor in that formula.
Finally, there are many other factors that can affect how much child support Colorado parents are expected to provide. This includes the payment of health insurance premiums, maintenance obligations, or other child support payments that a party may be paying or receiving. In any case, the proper legal assistance will help you determine how much child support is expected of each parent, and also to assist enforcing the child support payments. At Johnson Sauer Legal Group, LLC, our Colorado divorce lawyers can help you determine how much child support a parent is expected to pay, and can fight to make sure that these payments are enforced after a divorce in Colorado.
