Child Support and Maintenance Provide a Financial Safety Net

In Colorado, basic child support covers housing, clothing, food, and basic transportation for the children.

Child support is based upon a formula created by Colorado Statutes which use a number of factors to determine the financial obligations of both parents. Child support factors include:

  • the number of overnights the children have with each parent
  • the combined incomes of the parents including  maintenance / alimony paid or received but excluding income from a new spouse or partner
  • known expenses regularly paid by each parent
    1. Ordinary Expenses typically included on child support worksheets such as daycare, health insurance, tuition, etc.
    2. Extraordinary Expenses – Medical Extraordinary vs. Non-Medical Extraordinary Expenses.  These are changing expenses that cannot be anticipated with frequency or amount. 
 

Parents make agreements about many aspects of their lives in mediation, including parenting plans and child support.  Mediated agreements can be more creative – and meet the needs of the parties – than what the law may otherwise provide for.  The potential of a tailored, creative agreement appeals to many divorcing spouses.  Parents often feel that they know their situation best, and trust that they can make the best choices on behalf of their own family situations, rather than relying upon an imposed order by the court.
