Colorado's Child Support Enforcement Assistance

Did you know that you can get a child support order without going through the Colorado Courts? If you need an initial child support order, to modify an existing child support amount, enforce an existing order, or establish paternity you may consider contacting Colorado's Child Support Enforcement ("CSE") office, or you may contact a Colorado Attorney.

You'll need to pay $20.00 to initiate a case with CSE, and an annual amount of $25 to have child support payments paid through the Family Support Registry ("FSR"), unless the fee is waived. Spousal Support (a.k.a.: Alimony and Maintenance) can also be paid through FSR. There are many advantages to having payments made through FSR because they keep track of all payments or missing payments so that you are ensured you know how much you are paid or owed.

If you have an Order through the Court, you, or your Attorney can request that child support payments are paid through FSR. If you would like an attorney to assist you in setting up child support, contact a Family Law Attorney.
