Divorce changes your household income, but it shouldn’t put your entire future at risk. At Fairfax Divorce Lawyers, we help you figure out spousal support, what it should look like, how long it should last, and whether it’s even necessary. Some people need time to rebuild financially after years out of the workforce. Others find themselves being asked to pay too much for too long. We’ve handled both sides.
Virginia law gives judges flexibility. They look at earning potential, marriage length, contributions to the home, and future needs. We help you present those facts clearly and push for a result that makes sense. We also assist with modification requests if things have changed since the original order. Whether you're asking for support, contesting it, or trying to end it, we help you stay focused on what’s fair.
In Fairfax, we’ve helped individuals protect their financial independence and avoid long-term hardship. You don’t need to take more than your share, or settle for less than you’re owed. Let’s make sure this part of your divorce doesn’t leave you struggling to recover.
