Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Child support/custody order when moving from VA to another state.

Hello,

I am currently in the process of planning a move to the state of FL. I currently have sole legal and physical custody of my child and have an established support order in the state that I currently reside (VA). If I move to FL would I be required to transfer the case to FL? Or would any future hearings on the case still be handled by VA? My ex is a resident of FL.

When both parents and the child live in Florida, Virginia will give up jurisdiction to Florida.
