Re: child support from abroad

You may be able to ask the Court to grant you relief on your past due amount on account that you do not have the ability to pay, and request a modification of future child support.

Additionally, if you have not had contact with your children or paid any support for the last year, it is possible that the other party may have asked the Court to terminate your parental rights.

The Colorado Child Support Enforcement web page can be found at http://www.childsupport.state.co.us/home/indexIndex.jsp

You can request a modification of child support through that website, and they may work with you as far as working out an agreement as to the amount owed. However, before entering into any binding agreements, I would urge you to have an attorney review your situation with you and advise you of your rights.

Best of luck to you -
