Colorado Springs Child Support Attorneys
Experienced Child Support Lawyers Serving Families in El Paso County, CO
Every parent has specific rights and responsibilities under Colorado law and one important responsibility is to provide financial support for your child’s basic needs. If two parents were never or are no longer married, courts realize that it is not always fair to expect each parent to provide equal financial support. One parent may earn more money, have greater expenses, or have other challenges that prevent them from providing as much as the other parent. For this reason, the court may order one parent to pay a certain amount of child support to the other until the child turns 19 years old. Let our experienced child support lawyers at The Gasper Law Group help.
Child support is available to primarily residential parents who are separated, divorced, or unmarried. Child support determinations are an integral part of any divorce case that involves children, and when you file a divorce petition, you can bring the issue before the court.
If two parents were never married, child support is often determined as part of either a paternity or allocation of parental responsibilities action brought about by a biological mother seeking support or by a biological father seeking legal paternal rights.
In either case, it is critical for any parent involved in a child support case to seek representation from a highly experienced Colorado Springs child support attorney. The Gasper Law Group’s family law attorneys regularly handle child support matters and understand the complex laws that can be involved.

Colorado Child Support Modifications
There may come a time following your divorce or legal separation when you need to modify child support. Perhaps you or your ex-spouse had a change in finances, such as a large promotion at work, or even a reduction in pay as careers change. An older child may have emancipated and child support may be recalculated without that child or either parent may have additional children who may alter the calculation. There are many cases where the financial obligations to the children need to change. It is important to be aware of the information you need to provide to modify child support and how an attorney can help the process along.
At The Gasper Law Group, our family law attorneys understand the confusion that might arise from the need to modify child support. We have helped many clients over the years handle this and other family law matters in Colorado courts.

How is Child Support Determined in Colorado?
When deciding how much the primary residential parent will receive in child support, courts will look to the Colorado Child Support Guidelines, which are intended to provide an objective basis for determining the expenses associated with children across a variety of incomes. The guidelines provide a chart that looks at both parents’ gross income, the number of children to support, and the number of overnights for each parent and certain qualified expenses. With this, the court can provide a basic child support payment.
As we all know, finances can change over time and the initial child support order may no longer be appropriate. For instance:
- The parent paying support may have had a financial windfall that warrants a higher amount of support
- The parent paying support may have lost a job or suffered an illness that makes it impossible for them to pay the ordered amount
- The parent receiving support may have had a windfall that warrants an adjustment in the percentage of support they require
- The needs of the child may have changed
- The parenting time schedule may have changed
- An older child may have emancipated, resulting in fewer children being included in the support calculation
In any of these situations, our attorneys can help you request a modification of the child support order.

"You can say I am a very satisfied client!!"After my traffic accident my daughter advised me that I should get legal council and she directed me to contact your law firm. As I set on a couple occasions to meeting with the people in your firm. I got the feeling that this was a right decision and that I would be taken care of. This feeling was spot on as the attorney assigned to my case (Mr. Robert F. To o l e was very good and went to great lengths to make sure that he understood all aspects of my accident and what the police did or did not do. And today at my appointed time to be in court Mr. Toole briefed me as to what was expected and showed me a statement from the city and their offer of no point or any changes to my driving privileges and with only a small fine to be paid. As I agreed to this I went into the courtroom with Mr. Toole and had a good understanding between the judge and Mr. Toole and myself. I can say that regardless of all the advertisements you see on the media by the different law firms touting all the money they get there clients. The Gasper Law firm is very much above all these others because they truly care about the people they represent. From the clerks to the staff to the lawyers this is what makes your firm so good. And lawyer Robert F. Toole is every bit what a lawyer should be and none of the BS. And I will recommend your firm and Mr. Toole to all my friends and others who need good representation in legal matters. You can say I am a very satisfied client!!- Walter N.

"I highly recommend that you not waste your time hiring other attorneys and hire the Gasper Law Group."After an absolutely crazy incident that could not have been seen almost anywhere besides a movie. I received some serious charges and was in search of an attorney. They would not only represent me but need to do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. Not because of a paycheck. I met Caryn Adams after meeting with several other top attorneys in the Colorado Springs area. I was very impressed with her genuine care about my situation and her want to help me. Not only did I want great representation, but I needed someone that I could reasonably afford given all the other expenses I was incurring. Caryn checked every box I needed. She was the only attorney who took extra care when I initially met with her to do everything she could do to protect me even before I hired her. I highly recommend that you not waste your time hiring other attorneys and hire the Gasper Law Group. They will protect you.- Lance F.
