How will you deal with providing for your children?
Colorado expects both parents to provide financial support to their
children, which is substantially based on each parent's income
and the amount of each parent's parenting time. If needed, our
mediators can help the parents determine how much each parent
should pay in child support as a minimum. With that
information, parents sometimes may negotiate with each other for
a higher amount to provide beyond the minimum amount expected
by the State. Even though both parents provide financial support,
most commonly one parent's share is higher than the other,
therefore that parent makes a monthly payment to the other
parent for the difference.
Colorado Family Registry
As an option, some parents choose to have child support
payments processed through the Family Registry. This is another
way to help prevent parents from getting into a new conflict over
money. It provides clear proof of payment by the paying parent,
and prevents false accusations due to misinformation. The record
can also be accessed by the Court.
Some parents prefer not to use the Registry, as it adds an extra
day or two for the receiving parent to receive the money.
