Fairfax County Child Support Enforcement Attorneys
Northern Virginia Lawyers Enforcing Spousal Support/ Alimony and Other Family Court Orders
Unpaid family court commitments can lead to contempt of court citations, jail terms and an order to pay the complaining party's attorney fees. Usually, the credible threat of these sanctions is enough to bring the party in default into compliance. When it is not, you need a lawyer who is willing to go the distance in order to ensure your court orders are upheld.
At MacDowell & Associates P.C., our Fairfax County child support enforcement lawyers advise people who need assistance with the enforcement of continuing obligations that go into unexcused default. We can help document and present evidence of missed alimony or child support payments or repeated interference with a child visitation schedule.
While we strive to resolve issues as amicably as possible, we will take more aggressive actions if necessary. We are skilled trial lawyers who do not hesitate to go to court in order to protect our clients' interests. Other attorneys know this, which gives us a strong bargaining chip in enforcing visitation or support payments.
Contact our Fairfax law firm at 703-763-0923 to arrange an appointment with a knowledgeable family law attorney.
Modification of Court Orders
Enforcing spousal support and other court orders is not just about forcing people to pay support or follow a visitation schedule. It is also about analyzing the circumstances that cause someone to stop following the orders.
If you can no longer meet your support or custody obligations due to a substantial change in circumstances, we can help you modify the court order to the new reality. For example, we can help you lower child support payments after a job loss, or create a new visitation schedule if your work hours changed.
