Modifying Child Support One of the parents must request the change by a formal motion to the court. The court that makes the original child support award has the authority to modify the order if conditions change. Either parent may request the court to change the order throughout the time the child is under 18.

Determination for both types of support are filed in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. If you do not already have an order from another court, you may file a support petition in the Court Service Unit, which is located on the second floor of the juvenile court building.

For example, the median household income in Virginia is around $75,000 per year, or $6,250 per month. ing to the child support table, that means child support for an average family with one child would be $835, for two children, it would be $1,246, and for three children, it would be $1,473.

The Virginia Code stipulates that a child support order can be modified under the following circumstances: The parent paying child support has lost their job. The parent paying child support has been demoted or changed jobs and their pay has decreased by 25 percent or more.

Legally, children cannot refuse visitation with a parent until they turn 18 years old. While you are not required to physically force your child in your car to go to a visitation session, you are responsible for facilitating parenting time with your spouse or partner if at all possible.

In Virginia, there is no ?magic age? that allows the child to make this choice. If they are under 18, the decision is ultimately made by the court if parents cannot come to an agreement on their own.
