Determining Child Support in Virginia

Child support amounts are established on a case-by-case basis depending upon set guidelines set forth by Virginia law. In determining child support, the court will evaluate each parent's income, the child(ren)'s medical and dental insurance expenses, day care expenses and any other expenses that the custodial parent may need to cover in caring for the child or children and possibly some other factors.

Although the court will generally follow set guidelines in determining the amount of child support you may be required to pay or receive, there are definitely ways that a Virginia Beach child support lawyer can influence outcome of your matter. For example, assisting you in obtaining custody in the first place can mean that you do not have to pay child support but rather will receive it. Depending on whether you are the custodial or non-custodial parent, Attorney Keri A. Markiewicz can work to represent your interests in legal proceedings involving child support.
