Everyone’s Responsibility.
Child support does not always directly correlate with the terms of parenting time and parental responsibility (custody) agreements. In Colorado, child support is based on gross income before taxes and deductions and follows a guideline formula dictated by state laws and statutes. In addition, child support requires parents to share costs for the following types of expenses based in proportion to their income: health care, daycare, and agreed or ordered extra-curriculum activities.

Testimonials
“Jeff represented my girls and I back in the 90's. He was moral and ethical, which made him even greater as a Family Law Attorney. My case was not an easy one nor did it end with just one court appearance. Every time the Absent Parent took me to court, Jeff prevailed. If you want quality representation with realistic and positive results. He is the person you should hire. God blessed us with him and I will be eternally grateful.” R.V, Denver
“Jeff Conley is one of the sharpest attorneys practicing Domestic Relations law in the State of Colorado. When I needed a Domestic Relations Lawyer to gain custody of my only daughter Jeff was there for me and my daughter. Jeff has it all in my opinion. He knows the law. He knows the facts in a case. He knows how to handle witnesses and he's great in front of a jury. I have worked together with Jeff on several legal matters where the case had both criminal and domestic relations issues and he is outstanding in his prep and delivery of a case. Jeff is very organized and well prepared for all of his cases. After dealing with Jeff in both a professional and personal manner, I get the feeling he will achieve great things in life.” C.M., Lakewood
