I am currently separated from my husband and he has threatened to quit his job if I try to leave with the kids. He says there will be no money for child support.
Hi ****! That sounds like a tough situation. In Colorado, child support is determined based on both parents' incomes and the needs of the child. Even if your husband quits his job, the court can impute income based on his earning capacity.
Would you like to know more about how child support is calculated or how to address this threat legally?
