Applying for Colorado Child Support
When applying for Colorado child support you must contact your local child support enforcement office. You will also need to apply for child support services by filling out an application. The one time application fee for applying for child support services is twenty dollars unless you are receiving public assistance, in which case the fee will not apply.

Establishing Colorado Child Support
Custodial parents who seek financial assistance from the non-custodial parents must establish child support. Child support is established by using the Colorado child support laws detailed in Legal Authority, Section 14-10-115. The Colorado (CSE) Child Support Enforcement Program requires that health insurance coverage is provided for the child/children. In the state of Colorado, the court will decide which parent will be responsible for providing medical insurance for the child/children.

Calculating Colorado Child Support
When applying for child support, the courts would have to determine the amount of support needed to provide for the custodial parent's children. Child support in the state of Colorado is calculated by using gross monthly incomes of both the non-custodial and custodial parents. The financial amount of the child support payments is based on the non-custodial parent's share of the obligation.

Enforcing Colorado Child Support Orders
When a non-custodial parent refuses to pay child support , the state of Colorado will use several methods to enforcing payments. These methods include suspension of drivers license, passport denial, withholding from employment wages, liens on property, and many other methods of enforcements.
