Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

spouse has new child support order but old amount still being garnished

My spouse had a child support order in Virginia that was being garnished from his check each month. When both parties moved to Maryland he requested a modificating since child was no longer in daycare. Even though Maryland decreased the amount, Virginia is still taking out the higher amount. What can he do?
