Cooperation with Child Support
Pursuant to Section 26-13-106(2), Colorado Revised Statutes, anyone applying for the Child Care Assistance Program must cooperate with the Child Support Unit. At the intake process, you will be given an application for child support services. The Child Support Unit assists with establishing paternity, support and retro-active support.
If you already have an active court order for child support through a Divorce Decree, Allocation of Parental Responsibilities or Support Order, it will be enforced through the agency.
