WELCOME TO MESA COUNTY CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES

A child support case has been opened with our office for one of the following rea-

sons:

• One of the parties has applied for our services

• The custodial party is receiving TANF benefits

• The custodial party is receiving Child Care benefits

• Another state has sent us their case as you are residing in the State of Colo-

rado

• Child(ren) is/are in Foster Care

The child support case can only be closed by the applying party/other state. The case cannot be closed if the custodial party is currently receiving TANF or Child Care benefits. If the custodial party is not currently receiving TANF or Child Care benefits, their portion of the case can be closed, if requested in writing. If the ap-plying party requests closure, in writing, and there is money due the State, the en-forcement of the custodial party’s current support and arrears will cease. However, Mesa County Child Support Services will continue to enforce and collect all mon-ies due the State until paid in full.

GETTING STARTED

• Intake hours: Monday – Friday (excluding holidays)

8:30am – 4:30pm

Caseloads are assigned by the last name of the non custodial parent.

Caseworkers will be switched only if a conflict of interest is proven by the

requesting party.

Mesa County Child Support Services works each case based on the

information available to us and not based on gender, or whether it is a

public assistance case or a non public assistance case.

Mesa County Child Support Services has 48 hours, excluding weekends

and holidays, to return calls and 10 business days to respond to letters.

All payments must be mailed to the Family Support Registry, PO Box 2171,

Denver, CO 80201-2171. For other payment options you can contact

Family Support Registry at 800-374-6558. Mesa County Child Support

Services does not take any over the counter payments.

Child Support payments cannot be paid directly to the child or custodial

party on the case. If you are court ordered to pay through Family Support

Registry, and you pay the custodial party directly, it is considered a gift and

you will not receive credit for the payment(s). Material items such as

diapers, clothes, school tuition, vehicles, etc., cannot be credited in lieu of

child support payments.

• The child support attorney for Mesa County Child Support Services does not represent either party, but represents the People of the State of Colorado in the best interest of the child(ren).

Employees of Mesa County Child Support Services are not attorneys and

cannot give legal advice. If you have legal questions, you can contact Mesa

County Justice Center, 125 N. Spruce St., PO Box 20,000, Grand Junction,

CO 81502-5030, phone # 970-257-3640, or you may seek legal counsel.

It is in your best interest to attend all court or administrative hearings.

If you have questions regarding Child Protection, please contact their office

at: 970-242-1211.

Custody/Visitation and child support are separate issues. Our office can

only assist you with child support.

Communication with our office is expected to be done in a courteous and

professional manner.

When a case is closed in our office, it does not mean that the child support

order is terminated. It is in your best interest to consult the courts or an

attorney if you have questions.

It is your responsibility to update our office with any change of address or employment. This will ensure you receive all information, notices and due process on your case.

As of February 1, 2004, Mesa County Child Support Services no longer adds interest to judgment balances. However, if there was interest added prior to February 1, 2004, that will remain on the balance and will be collected. Also, if we are working your case for another state with an out of state order and they collect and add interest, we will adjust our balances and collect the interest for them. If the judgment is due the custodial party, they are able to add interest and collect it on their own.

DRIVER’S LICENSE SUSPENSION

If payment is not received as agreed, your case may be selected by our automated

computer system for driver’s license suspension. You will be sent a Notice of Non-

Compliance (ATTACHMENT- A-), by mail, to the address we have on file. This is

your notice of due process. This notice informs you that your Colorado driver’s

license will be suspended because you did not comply with your child support

order. This notice gives you 60 days to take one of the following actions to avoid

your license being suspended:

1. Pay the monthly payment due

2. Pay off the balance in full

3. Contact your technician and negotiate a monthly payment plan

If you disagree with the balance due on your Notice of Non- Compliance, you may

be eligible to request an Administrative Review, in writing, within 30 days of the

date of your notice. You can mail this request to our office at: Mesa County Child

Support Services, PO Box 20,000, Grand Junction, CO 81502-5035.

If you fail to do any of the above or pay the agreed monthly payment, you will

then be sent a Notice of Initial Failure (ATTACHMENT –B-), by mail, to the

address we have on file. You will also be sent this notice from the Department of

Motor Vehicles, by mail, to the address they have listed on their system. This

notice will list an actual suspension date. This notice gives you 30 days to take one

of the following actions:

1. Pay off balance on all orders listed on the notice prior to the suspension

date

2. Begin paying the full monthly payment on all orders listed on the notice

AND CONTACT YOUR TECHNICIAN TO ENTER INTO A NEW

MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN

If you either pay off the balance due, or enter into a new payment plan with your

technician, a Notice of Compliance (ATTACHMENT –D-) will be issued. This

notice is mailed to you, to the address we have on file. If the Notice of

Compliance is issued prior to the suspension date, you will not need to contact

the Department of Motor Vehicles. If the Notice of Compliance is issued after

your suspension date, you will then need to contact the Department of Motor

Vehicles for reinstatement of your license. The Department of Motor Vehicles’

system will read our Notice of Compliance, electronically, within 72 business

hours.

Once a Notice of Compliance is issued, if you then fail to make your agreed upon

monthly payments, you will then be sent a Notice of Subsequent Failure

(ATTACHMENT –C-). You will be sent this notice by mail to the address listed

on file. You will also be sent a notice by Department of Motor Vehicles, by mail at

the address they have listed on their system. This notice will list an actual

suspension date. This notice gives you 30 days to take one of the following

actions:

Pay off balances owed on all orders listed on the notice before the

suspension date

Begin paying the full monthly payment due on all orders listed on the

notice and pay for three consecutive months

Contact your technician to negotiate a lump sum payment (This is not

always an option, this will be at the technicians discretion)

Some cases might be required to pay a lump sum plus three months

consecutive full monthly payments

If you take one of the above actions, and a Notice of Compliance is issued, if you

then fail to make your agreed upon monthly payments, you can be selected again

for Driver’s License Suspension.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: Why did I get a driver’s license suspension notice?

Answer : Partial payment or no payments are the only cause for a driver’s

license notice being issued.

Question: My employer is withholding my child support payments. Why did I

still get a driver’s license suspension notice?

Answer: Family Support Registry may not be receiving full monthly payment.

Even though your employer is deducting child support payments out

of your wages, it is still ultimately your responsibility to ensure that

the full payment is being received each and every month. You can do

this by contacting the Family Support Registry at 800-374-6558, or

www.childsupport.state.co.us

Question: How do I reinstate my driver’s license if it has been suspended?

Answer: Once payment arrangements have been made and a Notice of

Compliance has been issued, Department of Motor Vehicles will

read the Notice of Compliance within 72 business hours. You will

then need to contact DMV at 303-205-5613.

Question: Can I get a red license (probationary license) if my driver’s license is

suspended?

Answer: You will need to contact DMV at 303-205-5613.

The child support enforcement (CSE) unit listed above has determined that you owe past-due child and/or spousal support. CSE records show that you owe at least the amount shown below. The amount may not include interest balances that have accrued.

CSE may take the enforcement actions listed below to collect the past due amount.

You have the right to contest CSE’s determination that this amount of past-due support is owed. To contest the amount of past-due support you must make a written request for an administrative review. The administrative review is strictly a review of the total payments you have made toward the child and/or spousal support orders. The administrative review is not a judicial determination. To request an administrative review you must send CSE a written request for an administrative review to the address listed above. The written request must be postmarked within 45 days of the date of this notice.

If your support order was not issued in Colorado, you may either request an administrative review from the CSE unit listed above or from the CSE office in the state that issued the order. However, all requests for administrative review must begin by written contact to the CSE unit listed above. If you make a written request that an administrative review be conducted in the state that issued the order, CSE will contact that state within ten days after the receipt of your written request. The CSE office in the other state will notify you of the time and place of the review.

Because CSE records show that you owe at least the amount shown below, CSE will take the following actions:

This information will be referred to the United States Department of the Treasury for collection by Federal Tax Refund Offset. Under Federal Tax Refund Offset (42U.S.C., SEC 664; 26 U.S.C. SEC 6402) any Federal income tax refund that you are entitled to will be intercepted to satisfy your past-due amount.

This information will be referred to the United States Department of the Treasury for collection by Administrative Offset. Under Administrative Offset (31 U.S.C. SEC 3716) certain Federal payments such as Federal retirement payments, vendor payments and miscellaneous payments (i.e. expense reimbursement payments and travel payments), and Federal salary that might otherwise be paid to you may be intercepted to satisfy your past-due amount.

This information will be referred to the Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR) for the collection by State Tax Refund Offset. Under Colorado Tax Refund Offset (26-13-111 C.R.S.) any Colorado income tax refund that you are entitled to will be intercepted to satisfy your past-due amount.

If you owe arrearages of child support in an amount exceeding $2,500, your debt will be certified to the State Department pursuant to 42 USC654(31). Once you are certified, the Secretary of State will refuse to issue a passport to you, and may revoke, restrict or limit a passport that was previously issued.

If you are married, filing a joint income tax return, and you incurred this debt separately from your spouse, who has no legal responsibility for the debt and who has income and withholding and/or estimated tax payments, your spouse may be entitled to receive his or her portion of any joint Federal Tax Refund. If your spouse meets these criteria, he or she may receive his or her portion of the joint refund by filing a Form 8379-Injured Spouse Claim and Allocation, Form 8379 should be attached to the top of the Form 1040 or 1040A when you file, or filed according to other instructions as indicated on the Form 8379. If your Colorado income tax refund is intercepted for collection of a past due amount, the Colorado DOR will notify taxpayers who file joint returns of the steps required to claim the share of the tax refund which may be payable to the spouse who does not owe support.


Under Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset and Colorado DOR laws, amounts will be intercepted even if you are currently making payments toward your past due amount.

CSE may also use the following enforcement methods to collect the past due amount currently owed and any additional amounts that accrue in the future:

If you are a vendor for the State of Colorado, the State Controller may offset future vendor payments for any past-due support, as defined in 26-13-111.5 C.R.S.

If you owe past-due support and have assets in accounts in financial institutions or state entities, as defined in 26-13-128 C.R.S., such assets may be collected for the payment of child support in response to a Notice of Lien and Levy.

If you owe past-due support, your child support obligation may be reported to consumer reporting agencies, as defined in 26-13-116 C.R.S.

If you are not making satisfactory payments each month toward your past-due support, your driver’s license, as defined in 26-113-123 C.R.S. and/or Professional, Occupational and Recreational Licenses, as defined in 26-13-126 C.R.S., may be suspended.

Important: If you owe current child support or child and spousal support and you fail to pay your obligation in full and on time, the amount of any payments missed may be added to the amount you owe and subject to collection by Colorado DOR Offset, Federal Tax Refund Offset, Administrative Offset, State Vendor Offset, Notice of Lien and Levy to collect assets in financial institutions and state entities, and Passport Denial without further notice to you of your right to request an administrative review. You may call the CSE unit listed on page one to obtain the most recent total amount due that the CSE unit may submit for collection.

You can mail this request to our office at: Mesa County Child Support Services,

PO Box 20,000, Grand Junction, CO 81502-5035.

Once we receive your tax offset payment, it is applied to your past due child

support balance in the following order:

1. Federal Tax Refund Offset

A. Any past due balance that is due to the State of Colorado.

B. Any past due balance that is due to the custodial party, however, does

not apply to current support.

2. State Tax Refund Offset

A. Applies to the current support first

B. Any past due balance that is due to the custodial party

C. Any past due balance that is due to the State of Colorado

If we receive your Tax Refund payment, and it pays off all past due balances owed,

and there is an overpayment, this overpayment will be sent back to you, to the

address listed on file.

If the tax offset payment came from a joint tax return, Mesa County Child

Support Services will hold the payment for 6 months from the date of receipt

TAX REFUND OFFSET


Question: Will Mesa County Child Support Services intercept my tax refunds

if I am paying on my case?

Answer: Yes, making payment does not exclude tax refund offset. Any time

there is a past due balance owed, you will be selected for tax refund

offset.

Question: Both my federal and state refunds were intercepted and the payment

received from IRS paid off my past due balance, so why did my state

tax refund get intercepted too?

Answer: When you are selected for tax refund offset, Mesa County Child

Support Services does not know if/or what you will be receiving as a

refund, therefore, you are selected for both federal and state

interceptions.

Question: If I owe a past due balance, can I claim my children on my taxes?

Answer: Your child support order may address this issue, if not, you may want

to call the IRS at 800-829-3676, or your tax preparer.

Question: Why have I received notice that my taxes refund was intercepted,

however, FSR has no record of this payment?

Answer: Once you have received notice that your taxes have been intercepted

it may take up to 12 weeks for the IRS to send the payments to FSR.

INCOME ASSIGNMENTS

If you are Court Ordered to pay through an income assignment (Attachment A),

Mesa County Child Support Services will issue an income assignment for current

and/or past due support. An income assignment is issued to the non custodial

parent’s employer to deduct the required amount from wages or other income.

Even though an income assignment is issued to your employer, it is still ultimately

your responsibility to ensure that payments are being withheld and sent to the

Family Support Registry, in full, each and every month. To check on payments

received, you may contact the Family Support Registry at 1-800-374-6558 or log on

to their website at www.childsupport.state.co.us

Legal Authority: Section 14-14-111.5, C.R.S.


INCOME ASSIGNMENTS


Question: What is an income assignment?

Answer: The income assignment is a Court Order issued to non custodial

parent’s employer to withhold the required amount of child support

from the non custodial parent’s paycheck. The income assignment is

issued to the employer for a monthly amount and the employer will

withhold according to their pay periods.

Question: Is there a way to stop child support being deducted from my wages and

pay on my own?

Answer: You may contact your Child Support worker to discuss setting up a

Recurring Automatic Withdrawal (RAW). The only way you can stop

an income assignment is to set up a RAW through the Family Support

Registry (Attachment B). Once you have spoken with your Child

Support worker, you will need to contact FSR at 1-800-374-6558. This

will be an automatic deduction from your bank account each month.

Question: What if I do not make enough money to cover the full amount due

each month?

Answer: The employer is only able to take a percentage of your income up to

65%, according to the garnishment statute 13-54-104, C.R.S.

However, your full monthly payment is still due and owing, so you will

be required to make up the difference each month.

Question: What if I have more than one family to support?

Answer: An income assignment will be issued to your employer for all orders

and all payments for all orders will be sent to the Family Support

Registry (FSR). You employer is instructed to meet the current

monthly support amounts first for each order and then the past due

child support that is owed for each order.

Question: Can I be charged for an income assignment by my employer?

Answer: Yes, they may charge up to $5.00 per month for a processing fee.

Question: Can my tips be garnished?

Answer: Yes, tips must be used to calculate total income in order to determine

disposable income. There probably won’t be enough to cover the full

amount of child support due so you will still be responsible to make up

the difference to ensure your full monthly payment is made.

Question: What if I am a contract worker? 1099?

Answer: Child Support will be withheld out of your paycheck because income is

defined as: Payment to an independent contractor for labor or services.

Question: Can my bonus, commission or severance pay be withheld for child

support?

Answer: Sixty-five percent of any lump sum payment, up to the arrears balance owed, may be attached and applied to your obligation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS AND OTHER INCOME WITHHOLDERS

State-specific information may be viewed on the OCSE Employer Services website located at:

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/newhire/employer/contacts/contacts.htm

Priority: Withholding for support has priority over any other legal process under State law (or Tribal law if applicable) against the same income. If a Federal tax levy is in effect, please notify the contact person listed below.

Combining Payments: You may combine withheld amounts from more than one employee/obligor's income in a single payment to

each agency/party requesting withholding. You must, however, separately identify the portion of the single payment that is

attributable to each employee/obligor.

Reporting the Pay Date: You must report the pay date when sending the payment. The pay date is the date on which the amount was withheld from the employee/obligor's wages. You must comply with the law of the State (or Tribal law if applicable) of the employee/obligor's principal place of employment with respect to the time periods within which you must implement the withholding and forward the support payments.

Employee/Obligor with Multiple Support Withholdings: If there is more than one Order/Notice against this employee/obligor and you are unable to fully honor all support Orders/Notices due to federal, State, or Tribal withholding limits, you must follow the State or Tribal law/procedure of the employee/obligor's principal place of employment. You must honor all Orders/Notices to the greatest extent possible, giving priority to current support before payment of any past-due support.

Lump Sum Payments: You may be required to report and withhold from lump sum payments such as bonuses, commissions, or severance pay. Contact the agency or person listed below to determine if you are required to withhold or if you have any questions about lump sum payments.

Liability: If you have any doubts about the validity of the Order/Notice, contact the agency or person listed below. If you fail to withhold income as the Order/Notice directs, you are liable for both the accumulated amount you should have withheld from the employee/obligor's income and any other penalties set by State or Tribal law/procedure.

Anti-discrimination: You are subject to a fine determined under State or Tribal law for discharging an employee/obligor from employment, refusing to employ, or taking disciplinary action against an employee/obligor because of a child support withholding.

Withholding Limits: You may not withhold more than the lesser of: 1) the amounts allowed by the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) (15 U.S.C. 1673(b)); or 2) the amounts allowed by the State or Tribe of the employee/obligor's principal place of employment. Disposable income is the net income left after making mandatory deductions such as: State, Federal, local taxes, Social Security taxes, statutory pension contributions and Medicare taxes. The Federal limit is 50% of the disposable income if the obligor is supporting another family and 60% of the disposable income if the obligor is not supporting another family. However, that 50% limit is increased to 55% and that 60% limit is increased to 65% if the arrears are greater than 12 weeks. If permitted by the State, you may deduct a fee for administrative costs. The support amount and the fee may not exceed the limit indicated in this section.


Employee/ Obligor's Name: Case Identifier:

Order Identifier: Employer's Name:

Arrears greater than 12 weeks? If the Order Information does not indicate whether the arrears are greater than 12 weeks, then the

employer should calculate the CCPA limit using the lower percentage.

For Tribal orders, you may not withhold more than the amounts allowed under the law of the issuing Tribe. For Tribal employers

who receive a State order, you may not withhold more than the lesser of the limit set by the law of the jurisdiction in which the

employer is located or the maximum amount permitted under section 303(d) of the CCPA (15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)).

Depending upon applicable State law, you may need to take into consideration the amounts paid for health care premiums in

determining disposable income and applying appropriate withholding limits.

CERTIFICATE OF DELIVERY

I certify that a true and correct copy of the foregoing

Original Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support was

placed in the United States Mail/electronic transmission, on to the

following:

ATTACHMENT B

NATIONAL MEDICAL SUPPORT NOTICE

Mesa County Child Support Services requires that health insurance coverage for

children be included when establishing the child support order. Both parties or

either party may be required to provide the health insurance for the child(ren).

Health insurance can also be provided by the non custodial parent’s or the

custodial party’s spouse.

When a National Medical Support Notice (ATTACHMENT –A-) is sent to the

non custodial parent’s employer, a notice is also sent to the non custodial parent

(ATTACHMENT –B-), to the last known address listed on file. It is mandatory

that the employer enroll the employee and child (ren), if health insurance is

available at a reasonable cost. Reasonable cost is defined as 20% of gross income

(before taxes are deducted) for the child(ren)’s portion only.

If your employer has a probationary period you and your child(ren) will not be

enrolled until the end of the probationary period. As this is considered a life

changing circumstance, open enrollment periods will not apply.

If the child(ren) is on Medicaid or CHP+ and you are court ordered to provide

health insurance you will still need to provide health insurance either through

your employer or through a private insurance company. This is because Medicaid

and CHP+ are not considered private insurance, as they are government funded

programs.

If your employer has received a National Medical Support Notice and you would

rather obtain private health insurance or already have other insurance (not CHP+

or Medicaid) you will then need to provide proof of health insurance. Once the

proof is received by Mesa County Child Support Services, a termination of the

National Medical Support Notice will be issued to your employer.

Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. Section 666(a)(19) ERISA 26USC section 1169(a) 45 C.F.R., Section §302.80, §303.30-.32 C.R.S., Section 13-54-104(1), 14-10-115(10)(g), 14-14-102, 14-14-112 and 26-13-121.5

NATIONAL MEDICAL SUPPORT NOTICE


Question: What if the custodial party does not want the health insurance

provided by the non custodial parent?

Answer: If a specific person is court ordered to provide the health insurance,

we have to follow the court order.

Question: What if my child(ren) lives in a different state than I do?

Answer: If you are court ordered to provide health insurance, a National

Medical Support Notice will be issued to your employer. Most

insurance companies will provide major medical insurance coverage

for child(ren) living in another state.

Question: What if the children are currently enrolled in State Medicaid or

CHP+?

Answer: State-funded insurance programs do not satisfy a court ordered requirement to obtain private insurance coverage. The private insurance would serve as the primary coverage with the State-funded insurance (if eligible) as secondary coverage.

JUDGMENTS

Mesa County Child Support Services may file a formal Verified Entry of

Judgment (ATTACHMENT –A-) with the Court. This Verified Entry of

Judgment locks in a specific amount due for a specific time frame. This amount

can be due either the custodial party or the State of Colorado. Once a Verified

Entry of Judgment has been filed with the Court, we will then file a Transcript of

Judgment (ATTACHMENT –B-) with the Clerk and Recorder and it may be

reported on your credit report under the Public Lien Section. Per §14-10-122

Colorado Revised Statute, a child support payment which is not made when due

becomes a judgment. A Verified Entry of Judgment is valid for 20 years and may

be revived for additional 20 year periods.

Interest is due and owing on any past due balance owed. The interest rate varies

from state to state.

Once a Verified Entry of Judgment has been filed the following actions may

occur:

1. A Writ of Garnishment for Support to seize assets which can include

but is not limited to personal property such as trust funds, probate

funds, inheritance monies, royalties, etc. This is a continuing

garnishment until released.

2. A Writ of Garnishment with Notice of Exemption and Pending Levy to

seize assets which can include but is not limited to personal property

such as bank account, trust funds, probate funds, inheritance monies,

royalties, etc. This is a one time, lump sum attachment.

3. A Writ of Execution to seize property of the non custodial parent, which

can include but is not limited to vehicles, recreational vehicles, real and

personal property, etc.

Legal Authority:


SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT

Once a Verified Entry of Judgment is paid in full, if it is due the State of

Colorado the Mesa County Child Support Services will file a Satisfaction of

Judgment (ATTACHMENT –C-) with the court and a Certificate of Satisfaction

(ATTACHMENT –D-) will then be filed with the Clerk and Recorder. If the

money owed on the Verified Entry of Judgment was due to the custodial party,

the Satisfaction of Judgment will be mailed to the custodial party for signature. If

the custodial party chooses to sign it and returns the Satisfaction of Judgment to

our office, we will then file it with the court and a Certificate of Satisfaction will

then be filed with the Clerk and Recorder.

If your Verified Entry of Judgment was paid off with a Joint Federal Tax Intercept, a Satisfaction of Judgment will not be filed with the court or sent to the custodial party for 6 months from the date of receipt of the Federal Tax Intercept.

JUDGMENTS


Question: How do I get a lien lifted from my property/asset?

Answer: The lien can only be lifted by paying off the entire past due balance

owed on your case. Contact Mesa County Child Support Services to

find out how much is owed to satisfy the judgment(s) and lift the

lien.

Question: How do I get a Satisfaction of Judgment filed with the court if the

custodial party refuses to sign the Satisfaction?

Answer: You may want to contact legal counsel or the court where the Verified Entry of Judgment was filed.

REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENT

Review & Adjustment is commonly referred to as a modification. A review of

your child support case may be requested by either party, through our office once

every 3 years. If a change of circumstances results in a 10% change of your current

amount of child support ordered, you may request a review prior to 3 years,

however you will need to provide verification of the change in circumstance and

proof that the child support amount ordered would change by 10%. To request a Review and Adjustment through Mesa County Child Support

Services, you will need to put this request in writing, stating you want a review of

your order and the reasons for your request. This request must include your

social security number or your case number. This request must be submitted to

Mesa County Child Support Services, PO Box 20,000, Grand Junction, CO

81502-5035. You can also find a Review and Adjustment request form on our

website at www.childsupport.state.co.us (ATTACHMENT –A-). Once we receive a written request for Review and Adjustment, a financial affidavit

will be sent to both parties, at the address listed on file. You will need to

complete this financial affidavit, attach any necessary documentation and return

to Mesa County Child Support Services within 20 days of the date of your letter.

If you are the requesting party and fail to return your financial affidavit within the

20 days, the review process will be terminated. After the 20 day time period is up we will conduct the review with the

information submitted on both parties’ financial affidavits using the Colorado

Child Support Guidelines. When calculating current child support we may

factor: gross income, over nights, other children, costs of health insurance and

daycare expenses, only if proof is provided. Also, we only use the income and

expenses of each party, we cannot use income and expenses of other parties. Mesa County Child Support Services will then send you the Stipulation for

Modification which includes the new proposed child support amount. If you


agree with the new proposed child support amount, you must sign the Stipulation

in the presence of a notary and return it to our office within 15 days of the date of

your letter. If you disagree with the results, you have the right to challenge the

findings. If you wish to challenge, you must make your request, in writing, within

15 calendar days from the date of your letter. The challenge must be sent to Mesa

County Child Support Services, PO Box 20,000, Grand Junction, CO 81502-

5035. Your challenge must include proof that inaccurate information was used or

a mathematical error was made.

If you disagree with the Stipulation, but you are not challenging the information

used to determine the proposed child support amount, you may request a court

hearing by following the instructions attached to the Stipulation. If one or both

parties do not return the signed and notarized Stipulation, this office will send a

motion to modify child support to court and the parties have 15 days to file a

response to the motion with the court or it is signed and made an order.

If both parties return the signed and notarized Stipulation to our office, we will

then send this to court to be entered. This proposed child support amount is not

final until an order is entered by the court. The current ordered amount must be

paid until a new order is entered.

Once we have the final order back from the court, our office will then send an amended income assignment to the non custodial parent’s employer if paying by income assignment. Until the new order is signed, we will continue to enforce the existing court order.

REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENT


Question: I pay for the child(ren)’s clothes, food, extracurricular activities etc,

will I get credit on my child support for these expenses?

Answer: The guidelines contain a schedule of basic support obligations that

include the average expenses for children such as food, clothing,

housing and utilities. Additional monies spent by the non

custodial parent for the benefit of the child that are not court

ordered are usually considered a gift.

Question: What is a guideline worksheet?

Answer: It is a form used to calculate the amount of the child support that

is owed. There are two guideline worksheets in Colorado. One is

used in cases when both parties have more than 92 overnights

with the child. This is known as worksheet B, shared physical care.

The second worksheet is used in cases when one party has 92 or

fewer overnights. This is known as worksheet A, sole physical care.

Instructions and guideline worksheets are available for download

from the Colorado Judicial Department website under the

domestic/family folder. http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/

Forms_List.cfm/Form_Type_ID/94 or you may access our website

at www.childsupport.state.co.us.

http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/Forms_List.cfm/Form_Type_ID/94

http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/Forms_List.cfm/Form_Type_ID/94

Question: Are my other bills such as rent or car payment taken into

consideration when computing the amount of support owed?

Answer: The only expenses that may be considered when determining the

child support amount owed are: gross income, over nights, other

children, costs of health insurance, extra ordinary medical

expenses and daycare expenses.

Question: What can I use to verify my income? What about self employed

parties?

Answer: You are required to provide your 3 most recent paycheck stubs and

3 most recent tax returns. If you have not filed tax returns, you can

provide your W-2 forms and 1099 forms. If you are self employed,

you will need to provide your business tax return for 3-5 years as

well as a sworn statement of gross income and business expenses.

Sometimes Mesa County Child Support Services will need

additional information to determine your income for child

support such as: business bank records, or profit and loss

statements.

Question: What if one of the parties doesn’t have any income?

Answer: If it is determined that the party is voluntarily underemployed,

minimum wage will be attributed. If the child(ren) on this case is

under 30 months of age, income does not have to be attributed to

the custodial party.

Question: If I have biological children from another relationship in the home

that I am responsible for, do I get credit for them when

determining the child support?

Answer: Circumstances vary on a case by case basis. You may contact legal counsel or the courts for further information.

Question: Does overtime count as part of my income?

Answer: Generally overtime is not counted as part of your income for child

support unless your employer requires overtime to be worked.

Question: If I am receiving disability, does that count as income for child

support purposes?

Answer: If you receive disability money based on your past employment, it

is considered income for purposes of child support.

ATTACHMENT A

CONTEMPT

Mesa County Child Support Services can file a Motion for Contempt against the

non custodial parent if he/she fails to pay their court ordered child support. If

found in Contempt of Court, you may be fined and/or jailed for a period of time,

which is at the discretion of the Court.

Legal Authority: Section 14-14-110, C.R.S.


Question: What will happen if a contempt is filed against me?

Answer: The Court will hold hearings to determine if you have purposefully violated the court’s order to pay child support. If the courts find that you have purposefully failed to pay support, the court has the ability to order jail time or arrange with you to make payments for a certain timeframe in lieu of jail. All penalties are at the discretion of the Court.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

If you are incarcerated in the Colorado Department of Corrections, your child

support is still due. Being incarcerated does not change your child support

order. Mesa County Child Support Services will continue to collect on your

current support order.

An Administrative Lien will be sent to the Colorado Department of Corrections

to attach your inmate account. This attachment will take place once a month and

will attach 20% of the amount in your account.

Once you are released from the Department of Corrections, you need to contact Mesa County Child Support Services at 970-248-2780 for information regarding your child support case and to update your contact information.

PARENTAL RIGHTS TERMINATION

Our office does not get involved with this process. You may want to contact an

attorney or the court. However, if your rights are terminated, this does not

automatically stop your child support. You will need to provide our office with a

copy of the order so that we can research this matter and see what action needs to

be taken. Any arrears that are due and owing prior to the Parental Rights

Termination Order, will still be due and owing.

FOSTER CARE FEE

If your child(ren) is/are placed in foster care, all child support is assigned to the

State of Colorado to reimburse the foster care benefits paid for the placement of

the child. Both parties may be liable to reimburse the State of Colorado for the
