Spousal Support Cases
Spousal maintenance is commonly known as “alimony.” In Colorado, spousal maintenance can be ordered when one spouse needs support and the other spouse has the ability to pay support. What this commonly comes down to is the question of whether the spouse needing support is unable to meet their reasonable needs on their income alone.
In Colorado, spousal maintenance is largely determined by the formulas set out in statute. However, many people can be misled by the apparent simplicity of this formula. It’s important to remember that a formula is only as useful as the information that is put into it.
Many support orders are determined, in large part, by formulas. However, do not be misled by the apparent simplicity – a formula is only as good as the information that is given to it. Moreover there many exceptions, adjustments and ways to characterize earnings to significantly change the output of support formulas.
