State specific
Colorado
- We have implemented changes that were requested by the Colorado Judicial Department as they continue to work to understand the legislative intent of the statute.
- Line 5c. Parenting time adjustment. The parenting time adjustment is now calculated by multiplying the parenting time credit percentage by the basic combined support obligation (line 4), not by the party’s share of the obligation (line 5). The impact of this is to dramatically increase the parenting time credit.
- Line 6. Line 6 is now not permitted to go negative. The impact of this is that in most cases, the two parties’ guideline amount, after any expense adjustments, will not be offset against each other. Instead, the obligor’s guideline amount will be the amount paid to the other party.
- Line 7. Line 7 is now calculated for both parties if the obligation has been affected by the minimum order, low-income adjustment, or self-support reserve test, and otherwise line 7 will be blank for both parties.
- Line 5c. Parenting time adjustment. The parenting time adjustment is now calculated by multiplying the parenting time credit percentage by the basic combined support obligation (line 4), not by the party’s share of the obligation (line 5). The impact of this is to dramatically increase the parenting time credit.
