Understanding Colorado Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance (alimony) in Colorado is determined using a formula based on the length of the marriage and the incomes of both parties. Colorado law provides guidelines for calculating both the amount and duration of maintenance payments.
Income Consideration
Colorado courts consider both parties' gross incomes when calculating spousal maintenance, with specific formulas based on combined income levels.
Marriage Duration
The length of the marriage significantly impacts both the amount and duration of maintenance payments, with longer marriages typically resulting in longer support periods.
Formula Guidelines
Colorado uses specific formulas to calculate maintenance amounts, considering factors like combined income and the difference between parties' incomes.
Modifications
Spousal maintenance orders may be modified when there's a substantial and continuing change in circumstances affecting either party.
