Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

Fathers Rights

My ex-wife and two children reside in the state of Colorado. I reside in the state of Washington. Our divorce hearing took place in the state of colorado. At the time of our hearing I was making very good money and my portion of child support was 1603.00 per month. Since that time the company I was employed by went bankrupt and I am now unemployed. Locating a job has not been easy. I am barly able to meet my monthly financial obligations, let alone send the full amount in child support. I have sent some monies to my ex-wife. My visitation schedule is every other holiday and six weeks of time in the summer at my home.

My ex-wife states that due to the fact that I'm not paying the full amount of ordered child support, she does not have to let me speak to my children. Our court ordered paperwork states that I must be able to talk with my children twice per week.

Does she have the right to not allow me to speak with my 4 & 6 yr. old girls because I cannot afford to send the full amount of support?

I am beginning the process of trying to have my child support lowered due to the fact that I lost my job.

Any advice would be greatly aprechiated.
