Re: child support

The other atty response was correct, as far as it went. You could also contact the DA in the county you live in and s/he will contact the DA where H lives. Or you could contact the DA in Colorado (his county) and ask for forms to have them do the collection.

If he is able to pay, you might be able to get a Colo atty to take it on a contingent fee basis (a percentage)
