What We Help You Change
Colorado law lets you change child support and maintenance orders when circumstances change substantially. We currently support the three most common situations. More coming soon.
Child Support Modification
Your income changed. Theirs changed. The parenting schedule shifted. If the math on your child support order is off by 10% or more, Colorado law lets you ask the court to recalculate it.
Forms covered: JDF 1403 · JDF 1404 · JDF 1111 · JDF 1820 · JDF 1104
Learn more →Child Support Termination
When a child turns 19, graduates, marries, enlists, or becomes emancipated, child support doesn’t stop automatically. You have to ask the court to end it — and you may be overpaying until you do.
Forms covered: JDF 1403 · Termination-specific instructions
Learn more →Maintenance Termination (Remarriage)
Under Colorado law, maintenance ends automatically when the receiving spouse remarries. But the court order doesn’t update itself — you still need to file to close it out.
Forms covered: JDF 1401 · JDF 1402

Built for Real Colorado Situations
You don’t need to be in the middle of a divorce to need this. Most of our users are people whose lives already changed — and whose court order hasn’t caught up.
“I lost my job or my income dropped”
A substantial income change (up or down, for either parent) is the most common reason to modify child support in Colorado.
“My kid turned 19 or graduated”
Colorado child support ends at 19, with a few exceptions. If you’re still paying, you probably shouldn’t be.
“My ex got remarried”
Maintenance terminates by statute on remarriage. If you’re still paying spousal support after your ex’s wedding, you can close the order out.
“I’m new to this and don’t know where to start”
Colorado has more than 100 family law forms. We’ll walk you through the exact ones your situation requires, and check your work before you file.
Three Steps. Under Two Hours.

Built by People Who’ve Been Through It
GoFile was built by Colorado parents who needed to modify their own court orders — and discovered there was no middle ground between $5,000 attorney bills and a stack of confusing JDF PDFs.
So we built the middle ground. GoFile is Colorado-only, on purpose. We use the current court-approved Colorado JDF forms, we match the Colorado Courts’ own self-help model (CJD 13-01), and we stay current with every form update the courts push out.
We’re not a law firm, and GoFile doesn’t give legal advice. If you need a lawyer’s judgment on your specific situation, we’ll point you to one. But if you just need the forms done right, we’ve got you.
Common Questions
No. Colorado allows self-represented parties to file modifications directly with the court. Courts see these filings every day. The challenge is knowing which forms to use and filling them out correctly — which is what GoFile is built for.
Colorado law presumes a “substantial and continuing change” — the standard needed to modify child support — when the new calculated amount differs from the current amount by 10% or more. Our calculator shows you the math. It doesn’t tell you whether to file; that’s your decision.
The court filing fee is $105, plus a $12 e-filing fee if you file through Colorado Courts E-Filing, plus $12 per transaction for electronic service. That’s separate from what you pay GoFile for the documents.
Most uncontested modifications take 30 to 90 days from filing. Contested ones can take three to six months. Timelines vary by county.
No. In Colorado, support doesn’t stop without a court order terminating it — even for an adult child. You have to file to end it, or you may keep paying.
Under C.R.S. § 14-10-122(2), maintenance terminates automatically on remarriage. But the court order itself doesn’t update automatically — a signed order from the court reflects that maintenance has ended.
No. GoFile is not a law firm, and using GoFile does not create an attorney-client relationship. We provide self-help document preparation under your direction — we don’t provide legal advice, predict outcomes, or tell you whether to file.
