There are several guidelines regarding calculating child support in Colorado. Colorado state statute § 14-10-115 goes into detail about child support guidelines, and the determining factors that the court system will look at. The amount to be paid depends on such circumstances as the gross incomes of the mother and father, the number of children born before the children of the marriage, the number of children born of the marriage, daycare/schooling and/or insurance expenses, etc. Also taken into consideration is the number of overnight stays the children have with each parent.
