  • Terms and Conditions

  • By signing my name below, I am submitting my application for child support services to the Colorado Division of Child Support Services. By submitting this form, I understand:

    CSS represents the People of the State of Colorado.  No attorney-client relationship or privilege exists between either party or the CSSstaff.

    CSS does not handle custody arrangements, parenting time (visitation) or property settlements.

    CSS will not accept the application for services I fall the children associated with the applicant have emancipated (left home).

    CSS will not enforce spousal maintenance once the current child support order ends.

    If there is a change that could cause the amount of the order to be adjusted (e.g. financial or medical), a modification (change) may be initiated by CSS or by any one of the parties involved.

    CSS determines the appropriate actions to be used when providing services. Each Colorado county child support office determines how specific child support cases are handled.

    If I have a disability or need additional support under the Americans with Disabilities Act, I must contact my county child support office for assistance.

    I must notify CSS in writing to stop child support services. The case may remain open if my children receive public assistance or if assigned arrears (outstanding payments) are owed. CSS may also close my case if required by state and federal regulations.

    I must provide CSS with the information needed to establish and enforce my child support order. My case may be delayed if this information is not received and/or if another state becomes involved.

    I am required to cooperate with CSS. If I do not, my case may be closed.

    Caretaker/relatives (e.g., grandparent, aunt, uncle, adult sibling, stepparent, etc.) applying for childsupport, must open a case against both biological parents. CSS is unable to close only one of the two cases against the biological parents.

    I may be required to complete and sign a legal document agreeing to the amount of child support arrears owed (if there is a current child support order).

    I will notify CSS in writing if any of the following occurs. If I do not, my medical or childsupport payments may be affected.

    1. Change to legal name, residence or mailing address, telephone or contact numbers, place of employment or health insurance.
    2. Any similar changes about the other party.
    3. If child support payments are made directly to the custodial parent instead of through the Family Support Registry (FSR).
    4. If a child no longer lives with the custodial parent, or if the child is now living with the other parent or a caretaker.
    5. If parenting time (visitation) changes for longer than one month.
    6. If a private attorney or private collection agency is hired for help with child support collection, parenting time or parental custody.
    7. If an action has been filed with a court that CSS was not involved with (e.g., separation, divorce, custody, etc.).

    I am required to return any money I receive from CSS by mistake.

    Once I receive an FSR account number, sending or receiving direct payment may result in my case being closed.

    CSS will provide a yearly statement summarizing the amount of child support that has been collected.

    I have an opportunity to receive the information through email if I choose this option.
