Child Support

Colorado Child Support Lawyer

Assuring Your Fair Treatment Under the Law

Child support is supposed to be straightforward, based on state guidelines regarding income and child-rearing expenses. In reality, it's rarely that simple. Contact a Colorado child support lawyer who will hold the other parent accountable for their legal obligation.

I am a divorce and family law attorney practicing in the Metro Denver, Front Range and Vail Valley  areas. I have the experience and credentials to protect your rights in proceedings to determine child support, enforce a support order, or modify child support.

Protecting Your Rights in Determining Support

Financial support of dependent children is based on specific criteria spelled out in Colorado statutes: income of each parent, parenting time of each, school and health care expenses, and other factors.

The non-custodial parent may employ several tactics to reduce their child support burden:

• Minimizing (or hiding) income
• Voluntary unemployment
• Maximizing parenting time

Your child support lawyer must have an understanding of financial matters as well as the law. Time after time, when it's time to determine the level of support, all the money seems to have disappeared — some parents use closely held businesses, friends or family members to avoid paying their fair share. I have an M.B.A. and I know how to do the extensive investigation to find hidden assets.

Other parents seek to increase parenting time to the threshold of 93 overnights to reduce their child support obligation. I help clients obtain fair and reasonable support in the context of what is in the child's best interest.

Child Support Enforcement

If the other parent is not meeting court-ordered support payments, the Law Offices of Fred Andrew Dunsing can pursue various legal remedies:

• Serve an action on the other parent's employer to garnish wages.
• Pursue a judgment and levy the other party's bank accounts and assets.
• File a contempt action and obtain sanctions against the other parent for non-support which could include jail.
