LOUDOUN COUNTY CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATIONS AND CHANGES

Alimony Modifications

Spousal support is most often awarded in cases where one spouse stayed home to run the household, or when there is a significant disparity in the incomes of the divorced couple. Alimony amounts are calculated at the time the order is created based on current financial data. But when a change in income or living situation occurs, existing spousal support orders may require modification. If the party receiving alimony begins co-habitating with another person or remarries, their alimony payments will most likely be reduced or stopped altogether.

Sometimes, a person will abuse the alimony modifications process in an attempt to get revenge on his or her ex. They might fail to report a raise or change in living situation, or make erroneous requests for modification based on false information. Whether you are paying or receiving spousal support, it is crucial that you have legal counsel from a skilled alimony modifications lawyer.

Child Support Modifications

Child support modifications can be necessary anytime either parent’s income or living expenses change, or when new costs associated with caring for the child in question arise. Like with alimony, there is potential for abuse on behalf of either party. The receiver may request more child support than they are entitled to, or the payer might try to get out of paying what he or she owes.
