In this "how-to" episode, Ryan dives into high-income scenarios and how they impact child support in Colorado. Using the case of hypothetical clients, Eric and Melanie Wolf, Ryan breaks down what happens when combined incomes exceed $30,000 per month, the legal floor for child support. Drawing on the Colorado Supreme Court case of In re Marriage of Boettcher, Ryan explains how courts determine child support in high-income cases, focusing on lifestyle disparities between parents and the needs of the children.
Episode Highlights:

  • Income & Child Support: How high incomes, such as Eric’s million-dollar salary, affect child support calculations.
  • The Boettcher Case: Insights from the In re Marriage of Boettcher decision, establishing that the $30,000 monthly income guideline is a floor, not a cap, for child support.
  • Lifestyle Considerations: The court's role in ensuring children maintain a similar lifestyle with both parents, including covering expenses like private school, vacations, and extracurricular activities.
  • Disparity in Incomes: How income disparity between parents influences child support, and what courts consider when determining fair support in above-guideline situations.
