Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

Child support and Self Employment

I found a law that states if you are self employed your income is based on monies left for personal use. The child support agency is using my gross income. After business expenses there is a $36,000 difference. I am not sure if they are correct? Can you please give me some insight?
