ARLINGTON COUNTY SUPPORT MODIFICATIONS ATTORNEY
Alimony and child support can fill an important need, creating a more equitable financial situation for parents for divorced individuals. But as needs and resources change, existing child and spousal support orders may require modifications. Changes in income or living situation, or new childcare expenses, may create a situation where a person isn’t paying enough alimony or child support, or is paying too much. It’s also not uncommon for one party to make a frivolous or even fraudulent request for support modification. If you are receiving or paying support, it’s important that you have legal representation from a knowledgeable family law attorney who can protect your rights and the best interest of your children.

Her years of experience and her track record of obtaining favorable outcomes for her clients have made Claudia Zucker one of Northern Virginia’s most respected alimony and child support modification lawyers. She offers flexible appointment scheduling options, and can discuss your needs with you with you in person, over the phone, or via Skype.
Child Support Modifications
In Virginia, child support is calculated based on the incomes of both parents, the anticipated expenses of caring for the child, and other unavoidable expenses that either parent might have to pay, such as caring for another family member. These calculations are made using a snapshot of both parents’ living situations at the time the child support order is put in place. Oftentimes, it is all but inevitable that at some point, at least one of these factors will change, and when that happens, a child support modification may be necessary.
However, not all child support modifications are justified. Sometimes one parent will abuse the modification process as a means of getting revenge on the other. If you require defense against a modification request that you feel is unfair, it is crucial that you contact an experienced child support modification lawyer. Claudia Zucker represents clients both receiving and paying child support throughout Arlington County, including Rosslyn, Westover, Pentagon City, Lyon Village, Shirlington, Clarendon, and more.
Alimony Modifications
Spousal support modifications may be required for many of the same reasons that child support are. In addition, if the spouse receiving alimony begins co-habitating with another person, or re-marries, requisite alimony payments may be reduced or stopped altogether. If you are receiving or paying spousal support and there are significant changes to your living expenses or your income, an alimony modification attorney can help you through the process of adjusting your spousal support arrangements to reflect the current situation.
Arlington County support modification lawyer Claudia Zucker also represents payers of alimony who have received modification requests that are unmerited or unfair. If your ex is requesting a modification, it’s important that you consult with an attorney to avoid paying more than you need to.
