In the state of Colorado, the term “post judgment maintenance” is what is often referred to as alimony in other states.

This essentially means spousal support, but can also apply to cases of child support, as well.

In many cases, after a divorce is finalized and things have settled, the amount of maintenance required changes. This may be due to a number of factors.

For example, you recently received a pay cut or lost your job entirely. With reduced pay, you cannot afford to take care of your child with the current amount of child support you’re receiving. Whatever the reasoning may be, you are able to request post judgment maintenance.
