Make Fillable Legal Virginia Child Support Forms For Free

Case Initiation of In-State Support Cases A support proceeding may be instituted on a petition, on a warrant, or upon the court's own motion, Va. Code § 16.1-259, or by the filing of a certified copy of an administrative support order by the Division of Child Support Enforcement Programs for enforcement purposes.

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.

Applying for Child Support in Virginia Has Never Been Simpler. As Virginia's Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE), we want children to receive support. And we know that to do that, we have to make child support simpler for everyone. That's why we built a new online application into our MyChildSupport portal.

Child support can either be awarded administratively at the Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) or through judicial means in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court (J&DR Court) or in the Circuit Court as part of a separation agreement or divorce decree.

We will continue to distribute child support payments within 48 hours of the parent or employer sending us payment. However, if a parent is unable to pay, such as due to a loss of employment, then this could affect your child support payments. If there has been a change in a parent's employment, please contact us.

To find your individual support obligation, first multiply the total shared support obligation by the other parent's time percentage. If the other parent pays for work-related child care or the children's health insurance premiums, add the monthly cost to your result.
