Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

My daughter�s mother and I have a mutual agreement of child support written and notarized. Now she decides she wants more money because I have a new baby on the way. If she takes me for child support, will the court honor our notarized legal agreement? Will it help or hurt my case? We are not married, never were.

would prescribe for your particular case.
