Virginia law has an unusual requirement when it comes to determining support issues.

Each family law attorney at Hunter Law Firm has a detailed understanding of the complex provisions of Virginia child support guidelines and works within those guidelines to find solutions that meet the needs and desires of the parents. We believe parents are the best judges of the best interests of their children, and our support attorneys in Hampton Roads find creative solutions to meet the needs of both parents and the law.
Many life changes — such as loss of employment or even a dramatic increase in income — may be grounds for modifying child support at any time after the divorce until all children have reached the age of majority. Our child support attorneys build a continuing relationship with our clients throughout Hampton Roads to ensure their children remain protected even after the final divorce decree.
