Child Support & Collection in Colorado
Both parents have a duty to provide for their children in the best way that they can.
After a divorce, the separation agreement will include the amount of child support that the non-custodial parent is required to pay in order to keep the child’s needs fulfilled.
Many times, child support is extremely contested throughout the divorce proceedings.
It is the responsibility of both parents to supply the financial support that the child or children need to have a comfortable and safe life.
Unfortunately, sometimes one parent will refuse to pay in full or at all when it comes time to support his or her child financially.
The custodial parent often suffers greatly at the loss of this financial support.
If you need help enforcing your child support agreement, you can always turn to the Denver child support and collection lawyers at Cooper, Tanis & Cohen to provide you with the legal representation that you need.
Boulder Child Support Attorney
Because child support is often so violently disagreed upon, it is important that you have the help of a competent lawyer who is very familiar with Colorado family law.
It is vital that your children receive the financial support that they need throughout their minority.
The Colorado courts generally base child support amounts off of the combined monthly income of both parents before taxes and deductions (as well as other factors).
The amount of support your family receives will depend upon your income, your ex-spouse’s income and the amount of minor children that you have together.
The courts will also take into account other contributions that both parents make to the health and well-being of all children involved.
In the cases of high-income families, the courts may not use the usual child support calculators to determine the baseline of support necessary.
In these cases, the courts will usually determine the amount of support that the child or children would realistically require.
