My grandchild’s father pays current child support but their mother does not. May I apply against one parent as opposed to both mother and father?
In Colorado, if a grandparent makes an application for child support both parents must be held accountable for current support. If a current order exists for one parent, it will be attached to the grandparent and another order will be opened with the other parent. This process will occur automatically if the grandparent is receiving TANF and/or Medicaid benefits for their grandchildren.
