[b]Child Support in Colorado[/b]

Divorce Matters states that in Colorado, child support ends automatically after the youngest or only child reaches 19 years of age. In most cases, it is mandated by law and will not require a motion to file for the termination of support.

Child support is temporary and lasts only as long as the child is financially dependent on the parent. It is paid for by the non-custodial parent to help the custodial parent raise the child and to meet his or her basic needs.

According to Divorce Matters, there are cases when child support is extended beyond the age of 19. This includes the following cases:

• Mental or physical disabilities which prevents the child from becoming independent.
• The child is in high school or an equivalent program.

For cases where the child has mental or physical disabilities, child support may be extended for the rest of the child’s life. For children that are still in high school or an equivalent program, the non-custodial parent provides support until the end of the month following graduation day.

[b]Filing for Child Support Modification[/b]

Divorce Matters offers legal advice for parents who wish to file for child support modification. This may include termination or the modification of the terms based on current situation. According to the Divorce Matters website, the party paying for support may file for termination in the following situations:

• When the child marries before turning 19 years old.
• When the child enters active military duty before the age of 19.

Divorce Matters provides in-depth information and services for child support cases. The company puts an emphasis on protecting parental rights and children’s rights.
