- In Colorado, child support obligations terminate when a child emancipates but not when a parent dies. The obligation to pay child support for unemancipated children outlives the deceased parent, but it also leaves the surviving parent with the quandary of how to collect child support from a nonexistent obligor. This article discusses proactive measures that child support obligees can take to protect child support payments in the event the obligor dies during a child’s minority., Author, Securing Future Child Support Obligations, The Colorado Lawyer, 2022
