Child Support
Support that reflects what raising your child actually costs.

Virginia calculates child support using statutory guidelines based on both parents' gross incomes, the number of children, health insurance premiums and work-related childcare costs.
The guideline number is a starting point, not always the ending point. Courts can deviate for special medical needs, extraordinary travel for visitation, or other documented circumstances.
Problems usually start with the inputs. If income is underreported, hidden in cash work, or a parent is voluntarily underemployed, the calculation comes out wrong — and your child pays for it.
I help clients on both sides: establishing fair support, correcting bad numbers, and modifying orders when incomes or custody arrangements change.
