Richmond Child Support Attorneys

A parent's duty to support his or her child does not end at divorce. A child has a right to be fully supported, regardless of the marital status of the parents. Therefore, when parents divorce or separate, the court will establish child support according to Virginia's child support guidelines. The family law attorneys at Jennings and Jennings can help you understand your rights and obligations under Virginia's child support laws. Contact Jennings and Jennings to discuss your legal needs with an experienced child support lawyer at our firm.

Although child support guidelines are strict, there are occasions in which the court will depart from these payment guidelines, resulting in reduction or increase of ordered support. It is essential to have an experienced child support attorney who understands the law and ensures your child support order accurately addresses your family's financial situation. Factors that are considered include:

• Are other children supported?
• Are all income factors considered (undocumented income, tips, income from rental properties, etc.)?
• Is too much income considered?
• Is additional support necessary for children with special needs?
• Is a parent voluntarily unemployed or voluntarily underemployed?
• Has additional support been previously allocated for health care?
• Are there excessive daycare, sports/activities or other necessary expenses?
