Circumstances change. What was once fair and equitable at a certain point in your life may become burdensome or unjust when facing loss of employment, a reduction of income, an increase in the needs of a child, or many other life events. If there is already an agreement or court order in place directing the payment of child support or spousal support (alimony), it may become necessary to seek a modification of the payments based on a change in circumstances.

Our attorneys have experience with modification cases in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Whether you’re seeking an increase or a reduction in support payment, our attorneys will work with you to adjust support amounts so they’re reasonable and fair given the changes in your life or the life of your child’s other parent or a former spouse.
