Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

In 9/07 while I was deployed to IRAQ I was petioned to court for modification of Child support ARREARAGE. My POA negotiated a $25.00 increase that has been in effect since 12/07. On 12/15/10 I received via the sheriff dept a summons to court for arrears modification. I called the case worker on this case and she said there was no modification on file of the increase in 2007 however the increase has been garnished from my wages since 2007. I am at a loss as to what to do as talking to them gets me nowhere. I was told by the Child Support people that once arrears have been modified they cannot go back to court. I sure could use some advice. Thank you, Michael ( the state is VIRGINIA, I live in Missouri )

You need to secure evidence of the increased amount garnished from

your wages for each and every month since year 2007 and arrange to appear at the scheduled hearing in the matter. (If you yourself cannot appear, then

you will need to hire a Virginia lawyer to appear in your stead.)

You may also wish to arrange to have your POA testify in your behalf at this hearing.
