Post-Decree Enforcement Modification Fairfax VA The Irving Law Firm

Post-Decree Enforcement Modification Fairfax VA The Irving Law Firm The entry of a final divorce decree does not always mean the end of legal proceedings between former spouses. Court orders must be followed, and when they are not, enforcement is necessary. Similarly, circumstances change after divorce, and orders addressing child support, spousal support, and custody arrangements may need to be modified to reflect the new realities. The Irving Law Firm handles post-decree matters in Fairfax County for clients whose orders are not being honored or whose circumstances have materially changed since the original order was entered. Enforcement of court orders in Virginia can involve several legal mechanisms depending on what type of order is being violated. Unpaid child support can be enforced through wage withholding, interception of tax refunds, license suspension, and contempt proceedings. Unpaid spousal support has similar enforcement mechanisms. Violations of custody and visitation orders can result in contempt citations, modification of the parenting arrangement, and in serious cases, other sanctions. The Irving Law Firm evaluates the available enforcement options in each specific situation and pursues the most effective approach for the client's circumstances. Modification of a court order requires demonstrating https://www.fairfaxdivorcelawyers.com/ that there has been a material change in circumstances since the order was entered. For child support, changes in either parent's income, changes in the custodial arrangement, and changes in the child's needs can all potentially support a modification request. For custody, the material change standard is applied, and the modification must also serve the child's best interests.
