You can do this yourself using the child support worksheet that the state mandates (and you should get comfortable with it) (http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/Forms_List.cfm?Form_Type_ID=94). Child support is based primarily on income and number of overnights. If you have 1 overnight per week, you'd be at apx. $608 per month. The big jump is at 93 overnights (e.g., if you had 2 overnights per week or 104 overnights per year, your child support would be $314/month). You also need to pay attendtion to how expenses are paid - you'd want pro rata by income here, not 50/50. If she makes $75k, she also might be ordered to pay your attorney fees related to the case. I hope this helps.
