Modification of Child Support

Northern Virginia Attorney Helping With Child Support Modifications

Arlington * Fairfax County * McLean * Alexandria

After you have completed your divorce, you may have received a child support agreement detailing specific expectations and obligations. These agreements are not set in stone. A change in circumstances — a job loss, relocation to another state, a remarriage — all these situations can make it necessary to request a change in your child support. When life changes, so can your agreement.

Some major life changes require immediate action. For instance, if you have experienced a serious income change because you lost your job or are working fewer hours, Family lawyer Claudia J. Zucker can file a motion to modify child support right away.

To schedule a consultation with Attorney Zucker about child support or another post-divorce modification, e-mail her or call her at 703-595-2286. English, Spanish, and French language services are available.

Significant Life Changes Can Require Child Support Changes

To initiate a child support modification, a significant change must have taken place in your life or that of your former spouse. Changes of circumstance that can allow modification of your divorce decree or child support order include:

• Remarriage of one of the parents
• The divorce of a parent who had remarried since your divorce
• A parent needs to move away
• A military parent's promotion, transfer or discharge
• Changes in the medical condition of either a parent or a child
• Changes in income due to promotion, job loss, or other factors
• The birth of another child to one of the parents

The Law Offices of Claudia J. Zucker offers more than 15 years of experience handling child support modifications as well as requests for changes in spousal support and child custody modification petitions. Attorney Zucker is available to represent people throughout Northern Virginia, including those in Fairfax County, Arlington, and Alexandria.

Ms. Zucker's experience lends itself well to handling the unusual situations that may arise in child support modification cases. She is able to address situations in which one of the parents lives in a different jurisdiction or abroad. She understands family law issues for immigrants and the concerns of military personnel. Regardless of how complex your situation may be, she will work hard to resolve your issues in a way that makes sense for you and your children.
