Re: Child Support change

Good question! Governed by Code 20-108.1 which was construed by Va. S.Ct. in Orlandi v. Ordladi

as follows:

"Additionally, the remarriage of mother and the related economic impact of her remarriage may be considered a "material" change in circumstances justifying modification of the agreed amount of child support."
