Child Support & Spousal Maintenance

Colorado Child Support and Spousal Maintenance Lawyers

A variety of factors go into determining the amount of spousal maintenance and/or child support in a divorce. In determining child's support, Colorado has adopted a formula based upon the parties’ incomes, allowing for modifications based on other important issues, such as the child’s expenses. In determining spousal maintenance, these factors include the length of the marriage, the health of each spouse, the lifestyle of the parties, the ability of the spouse asking for maintenance to support his/her lifestyle, the ability of the other spouse to pay maintenance, and the amount of property each party has been awarded. At the Law Office of Eric Ruderman, we have more than 30 years of experience helping people sort through these matters and helping them get the appropriate amount of child and spousal support.

We have been practicing family law and divorce in this area for a long time. Our attorneys know the law and how it is used in child support and alimony cases. In addition, we know the people involved in these cases, especially the judges and other local family law lawyers. This knowledge is important, since family law cases leave much to the discretion of the court. We understand the typical approach that other parties will take to your case. With that understanding, we can offer an honest assessment of your case and develop a legal strategy that takes the attitude and approach of these other parties into account.

In addition to assisting with initial child support and spousal maintenance matters, our attorneys are able to help with post-judgment modification. After a support amount has been set, things can change. If a former spouse receives a promotion or salary increase, it may warrant an increase in their child support or maintenance payments. We can help with these situations.

Our attorneys are good listeners. We feel this quality is as important as our knowledge and experience. Not every case is the same. We understand that your needs are different than the needs of others. We will take the time to learn about your needs. When we move forward with your case, you will be able to rest assured that every step we take will be a step in the direction of your goals.
