the Irving Law Firm – Fairfax Divorce Lawyers

Getting child support right is about more than numbers. At Fairfax Divorce Lawyers, we help parents calculate, adjust, and enforce child support that reflects real financial situations. Whether you're receiving or paying, the support arrangement should be fair and consistent.
Virginia law uses guidelines, but things like shared custody, medical expenses, and school costs can shift the numbers significantly. We help you understand what the court considers and gather the right financial records. If support has stopped or never started, we help you take action to recover what’s owed.
If you’ve had a major change in income or expenses, we guide you through the process of modifying the original order. We also defend against enforcement actions if you’re being unfairly accused of non-payment. The key to child support is predictability. You and your child should know what’s coming each month. We’ve worked with families across Fairfax and Northern Virginia to create support plans that actually work. Let’s get it done right and keep it stable.
