Child Support

Roanoke Child Support Attorney

In Virginia, the level of child support is determined by formulas in the statutes, although there are some exceptions. The level depends on the joint combined incomes of the parents and the amount of time the child spends with each parent, with adjustments made for certain expenses such as health insurance and childcare.

At Eric Roland Spencer, P.C., we represent clients in all child support matters, including:

• Determination of child support levels
• Modifications in required child support
• Enforcement of child support orders
• Collection of back child support
• Identification of income for determination of child support
• Paternity as it relates to child support

Modifications in Child Support

While the child support level is set at the time of separation and the final order affirmed with the divorce decree, circumstances can change over time. The incomes of the parents can go up or down, the child's health care expenses or educational needs can change, as can the visitation arrangements. These factors can be complicated and the court must understand these complexities so that justice is done.

At our firm, we believe that a person receiving child support should receive all of the support mandated by law. At the same time, we believe that a payer of child support should not have to pay more than the law requires.

When a "significant change in circumstances" does occur, our firm can go to court to obtain a child support modification for you. In nearly every case, we can accomplish this in a timely and efficient manner, and at a reasonable cost.
