How is child support most likely to be calculated and who is most likely to
get how much of what?


Oh yeah, here's something for anybody in Colorado.
Now, most of you know about the JDF 1403, which is the form used to
modify a child support award. It's posted at
http://www.courts.state.co.us/chs/co...ildsupport.htm
However, what a lot of people might not know is that there is another
form, JDF 1111 and JDF 1111S, the sworn financial statements. Can;t
Steal Enough won't inform you of them (after all, why would they inform
you of something that might actually help you?)
Now, directly, bills aren't supposed to impact child support, but here's
the kicker: Colorado law specifically allows a deviation if the child
support would push the NCP to poverty level. Plus, if that form is
there, than it has to have some justification. So that's where you put
your bills.
Now, these are sworn financial statements, so don't go making numbers up
out of thin air. You can list all of your bills here and the judge is
going to have to at LEAST look at the documents.
