Sandy Morgan
Katie Jo's Amazing Support
Katie Jo Anderson brilliantly assisted and instructed me in completing a myriad of legal documents that were absolutely overwhelming. In addition, I was experiencing a very difficult and emotional time, which made the process even more frustrating. However, Katie's ability to keep me calm and focused throughout the process was amazing. She carefully and methodically guided me through each and every segment of the documents while also providing me a distinctly highlighted guide sheet, which tremendously helped me get through them all in a very short time span. If it hadn't been for her extreme patience, comforting guidance, and absolute professional conduct, I don't think I would have achieved what was needed. Thank you so much, Katie Jo. I'll never forget your awesome support.
Greg Nabors
Blown Away by Katie Jo Anderson!

Virga Law: Legal Excellence and Compassion
I cannot say enough good things about Gerard Virga and his team at Virga Law. I went to the firm for a post-divorce matter that I had been struggling with for the past four years. It was incredibly overwhelming and weighed heavily on me. From the start, Gerard took the time to truly understand the complexities of my situation. His ability to take control of the case and guide me through each step provided a sense of relief I hadn’t experienced in years. My case was not easy—my ex-spouse was extremely difficult and seemed more interested in conflict than resolution—but Gerard’s calm yet assertive approach was exactly what I needed.
Lisa, one of the key members of the firm, is an absolute powerhouse. She is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and goes above and beyond to make sure clients are well-informed and supported every step of the way. Lisa’s dedication to her clients is unmatched, and you can tell she genuinely loves helping people navigate their legal challenges.
The support staff at Virga Law, including Amy, are also phenomenal. Amy’s extensive knowledge of the cases and her professionalism reflect how well the firm operates as a cohesive team. They have everything running like clockwork, which is no small feat in the legal world.
The firm’s use of technology, including Clio for case management, adds another layer of efficiency and organization. This system ensures that nothing slips through the cracks and that communication remains seamless. You can trust that the entire team is always on top of your case, giving you peace of mind.
I am incredibly grateful for the care, expertise, and professionalism of Gerard Virga and his team. If you need an attorney who combines legal excellence with genuine compassion, look no further than Virga Law. Highly recommend!
Mira Ibrahim

Child support and custody are separate legal issues. While one parent's refusal to pay support doesn't affect custody arrangements, both decisions consider the child's best interest. Family courts handle these matters to ensure fair parenting time and financial support.
Is child support taxable income?
No, child support payments are not considered taxable income for the recipient, and the paying parent cannot deduct these payments from their taxable income. Both parties should keep accurate records of payments for personal financial management and potential disputes.
What if child support payments are not made?
If child support payments are not made, you can contact your local child support enforcement agency. They have tools to enforce payments, such as wage garnishment, tax refund interception, or even legal proceedings. It's important to keep records of all missed payments for any legal action.
How can I apply for child support?
To apply for child support, you typically need to contact your local child support enforcement agency or family court. They can guide you through the legal paperwork and assist in establishing a child support order. You may also seek help from a family law attorney to understand your options.
