Colorado § 14-7-101

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 14: Domestic
• Art.: Parent and Child

Text

The commitment
of any child, under any law of this state, to any state institution shall not relieve the
parents or legal guardian of such child from responsibility for the support of the
child. It is the duty of any court committing any child to any state institution or any
private institution where such child is kept at the expense of the county or state, at
the time of the commitment, to forthwith notify the district attorney, if a state
expense, and the county attorney, if a county expense, of the name and address of
such parents and such other information as may be adduced at any hearing of such
case concerning the financial responsibility of the parents to care for such child. In
order to obtain such information, any court committing any child, at the time of
commitment or at any convenient time to be designated by the court, is authorized
to require the attendance of the parents or legal guardian upon such court to be
examined under oath concerning the property, possessions, and financial
responsibility of such parents or legal guardian.
