Resolving child support issues in Alexandria, Virginia

Parents in Alexandria, Virginia would agree that of the many issues surrounding a divorce, child support is probably one of the most important issues because of its direct impact on the well-being of the children involved. Money received in the form of child support caters to the various needs of a growing child and irregularities in child support payments can severely impact a child's quality of life. Therefore, issues related to child support are considered very serious by family courts as well as state and local child support enforcement agencies.

As many non-custodial parents would know, Virginia family law provides a number of ways for parents to pay child support. In fact, an earlier post on our blog discusses those methods. Issues never arise when these payments are made regularly but do surface when child support payments are not paid on a regular basis or missed entirely. In such cases, custodial parents have many remedies. They can speak directly with the non-custodial parent, seek help from child support agencies or file a complaint with the court.

But what happens when a non-custodial parent is truly unable to meet his or her child support obligation? Inability to pay may be due to a number of valid reasons, such as job loss, relocation, remarriage or some other significant change in life circumstances making child support obligations difficult. Non-custodial parents should know that, according to Virginia laws, it is possible to seek modifications to a child support order if you follow a certain process.
