VIRGINIA Part 93

After the Order - Review and Adjustment

Once a child support order is in place, you can ask a court to change it under certain circumstances. The most common reasons are when either parent has a 25% change in gross income (usually this happens with the loss of a job) or if a child needs to be added or taken off of the order. Some other reasons are if day care expenses change by 25%, if there are outstanding medical or dental expenses, or if there has been a change in health insurance costs. Also, if you have a shared-custody arrangement and one parent consistently fails to visit or take custody, then that is a good reason to ask for a change in the child support order.

Even if you do not request a review of your order, the DCSE automatically reviews child support orders every 36 months.
