Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Re: where to find form for motion to reduce child support

The Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court in the county where the children reside should be able to help you. You would need to see an intake officer and explain your situation. I do not understand someone telling you that an attorney is absolutely necessary. The J&DR Courts have their own preprinted forms.

Re: where to find form for motion to reduce child support

There is a form DC-630 entitled "Motion to Amend or Review Order." I think, however, that it is no longer being printed and distributed by the Virginia Supreme Court. You may wish to ask specifically if the Court has a copy of the DC-630, or if you can obtain one from a juvenile court in a nearby jurisdiction.

You should know that the rules concerning modification of child support when one of several children turns 18 can be very complicated and technical in Virginia, and you may wish to seek legal advice.

The Virginia Lawyers Referral Service can refer you to an attorney in your area who will agree in advance to a small fee for an initial consultation.
