- Child SupportIf you are a parent who is getting a divorce, child support is one important issue that you will need to address. Under Colorado law, the parent's child support obligation continues until the child reaches 19 years of age. The child support amount between you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse is paid based on the income you both earn, and it will cover your children's basic daily needs, as well as other child-related expenses. With a child support order in place, you will have the assurance that your children will be provided for financially as they grow up. However, it is also a good idea to consider your children's needs after they reach adulthood and make sure they will be able to receive the education that will allow them to pursue a good career. When addressing your children's college expenses, you will want to work with an attorney who can help you understand your options.

- Spousal SupportDuring a divorce case, one spouse may be at a financial disadvantage that may cause them to struggle to cover their expenses and meet their ongoing needs. A person may be a stay-at-home parent who does not earn an income or only works part-time, or a family may rely primarily on the income earned by the spouse who has a higher salary. In these situations, spousal support may be appropriate, and payments made by one spouse to the other will ensure that the recipient can pay their ongoing expenses, maintain the lifestyle of the marriage, and begin taking steps to become self-supporting.
- Workers CompensationChild support is meant to ensure that children of divorced or separated parents receive financial support similar to what parents would have spent to care for their children if they were still married or living together. Child support is based on the gross income earned by both parents. All sources of income earned by parents should be considered, including salaries, hourly wages, overtime required by employers, commissions, bonuses, dividends, royalties, interest, capital gains, retirement benefits and income from a pension, annuities, re-occurring income from trusts, Social Security benefits, workers' compensation benefits, spousal support received, and income earned from a business. If a parent is paying child support for children from a previous relationship, their gross income may be adjusted by deducting the amount of these payments.

- TrustsAssets held in trusts can sometimes present difficulties during the property division process. Since the assets are owned by the trust rather than either spouse, determining whether they are part of the marital estate will often depend on the type of trust, as well as the trust's terms. Revocable trusts created by the spouses during a couple's marriage will usually be considered marital property, unless one spouse's separate assets were used to fund a trust. An irrevocable trust will typically not be affected by a couple's divorce, unless the terms of the trust addressed this situation.
