SECTION 41. 1410115
(4) (c), (8), (9), (10) (c), and (14), Colorado Revised Statutes,
are amended to read:
1410115. Child support
guidelines schedule of basic child support obligations.
(4) The child support guideline does the following:
(c) Allocates the amount of child support
to be paid by each parent based upon physical custody
CARE arrangements.
(8) Shared physical care. For the
purposes of this section, "shared physical custody
CARE" means that each parent keeps the children overnight
for more than ninetytwo overnights each year and that both
parents contribute to the expenses of the children in addition
to the payment of child support.
(9) Split physical care. For the
purposes of this section, "split custody
PHYSICAL CARE" means that each parent has physical custody
CARE of at least one of the children BY MEANS OF THAT CHILD OR
CHILDREN RESIDING WITH THAT PARENT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.
(10) Basic child support obligation.
(c) Because shared physical custody
CARE presumes that certain basic expenses for the children will
be duplicated, an adjustment for shared physical custody
CARE is made by multiplying the basic child support obligation
by one and fifty onehundredths (1.50).
(14) Computation of child support.
(a) Except in cases of shared physical custody
CARE or split custody
PHYSICAL CARE as defined in subsections (8) and (9) of this section,
a total child support obligation is determined by adding each
parent's respective obligations for the basic child support obligation,
workrelated net child care costs, extraordinary medical
expenses, and extraordinary adjustments to the schedule. The custodial
parent RECEIVING A CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT shall be presumed to
spend his or her total child support obligation directly on the
children. The noncustodial
parent PAYING CHILD SUPPORT TO THE OTHER PARENT shall owe his
or her total child support obligation as child support to the
custodial
OTHER parent minus any ordered payments included in the calculations
made directly on behalf of the children for workrelated
net child care costs, extraordinary medical expenses, or extraordinary
adjustments to the schedule.
(b) In cases of shared physical custody,
CARE, each parent's adjusted basic child support obligation obtained
by application of paragraph (c) of subsection (10) of this section
shall first be divided between the parents in proportion to their
respective adjusted gross incomes. Each parent's share of the
adjusted basic child support obligation shall then be multiplied
by the percentage of time the children spend with the other parent
to determine the theoretical basic child support obligation owed
to the other parent. To these amounts shall be added each parent's
proportionate share of workrelated net child care costs,
extraordinary medical expenses, and extraordinary adjustments
to the schedule. The parent owing the greater amount of child
support shall owe the difference between the two amounts as a
child support order minus any ordered direct payments made on
behalf of the children for workrelated net child care costs,
extraordinary medical expenses, or extraordinary adjustments to
schedule. In no case, however, shall the amount of child support
ordered to be paid exceed the amount of child support which
THAT would otherwise be ordered to be paid if the parents did
not share physical custody.
(c) (I) In cases of split physical
custody,
CARE, a child support obligation shall be computed separately
for each parent based upon the number of children living with
the other parent in accordance with subsections (10), (11), (12),
and (13) of this section. The amount so determined shall be a
theoretical support obligation due each parent for support of
the child or children for whom he or she has primary physical
custody. The obligations so determined shall then be offset, with
the parent owing the larger amount owing the difference between
the two amounts as a child support order.
(II) If the parents also share physical
custody
CARE as outlined in paragraph (b) of this subsection (14), an
additional adjustment for shared physical custody
CARE shall be made as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection
(14).
