Colorado Divorce Laws

Colorado uses the "Income Shares" model to determine child support. This method bases the level of support on the combined income of both parents. You can use the worksheets available at the Colorado Judicial Branch Child Support Guidelines to determine the level of support. Child support may continue until a child becomes emancipated, graduates from high school, or it may continue beyond the age of nineteen if the child is mentally or physically disabled. Support for post-secondary education of the child may be order on both the parents. [Based on Colorado Revised Statutes 14-10-115]
