If you pay or receive child support in Colorado, the rules that determine how much you owe or are owed changed on March 1, 2026, and the difference could be significant.
On this episode of “Breaking Upward,” Beth Andersen welcomes fellow Andersen Law PC attorney Brian Beebe back to the podcast to break down Colorado’s sweeping new child support guidelines under HB 25-1159. If you’re navigating a new divorce, considering a modification, or want to understand whether your current order still reflects your situation, this episode covers what’s changed and why it matters.
Beth and Brian walk through the updates most likely to affect Colorado parents right now — including the elimination of the 93-overnight threshold that drove so many custody disputes, how the new guidelines better account for Colorado’s high cost of living, and what lower-income parents can expect under the new self-support reserve rules. They also discuss the steps parents should take to determine whether their existing child support order warrants a modification under the new law.
