Virginia Child Support Laws
Like many other states, Virginia has adopted child support guidelines that assist courts in making determinations about child support awards. While courts have the power to deviate from child support guidelines in very specific circumstances, deviations are not common, so it is important that you have an experienced family law attorney who can provide an accurate child support calculation on your behalf.
We are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your case. If you are involved in a divorce, child support will be just one of many issues that may be disputed in your case. If you wish to seek a modification of child support in which you would pay less support or receive additional support, we can help you determine if you have a valid basis to seek such a modification.
If it is in your best interests to seek a child support modification, we can make all necessary filings with the court and attend your hearing to argue on your behalf. While deviations from the child support guidelines are not common, we can also review the facts of your case to determine if there are unique factors that may warrant a deviation.
Child Support Modifications
You may be able to obtain a modification of an existing child support order if you can effectively demonstrate that there has been a significant or substantial change of circumstances since the original order. This may include a significant increase in your former spouse's income, a significant decrease in your income or significant changes to child care costs. The best way to determine if you may have a basis for a child support modification is to speak with an experienced family law attorney
