Supreme Court of Colorado
In re Marriage of Boettcher
September 23, 20192019 CO 81
Summary
The court held that when combined parental income exceeds the highest amount in Colorado's child-support schedule, the highest scheduled award is the minimum presumptive obligation, not a fixed ceiling. A district court may award more than that amount in its discretion if it considers the statutory factors and supports the award with appropriate findings. The court affirmed the child-support judgment and remanded for the district court to determine the appropriateness of the mother's attorney-fee request.
