Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I pay child support for my son. In 2013 my salary was $17 a hour, my child support was set at $543 per month. In 2014 my salary dropped to $8 a hour. What is the process to get my child support decreased? Is there a timeframe in which I can request a review to the Courts that my income changed or can I do it immediately when it changed?

You can petition anytime for an adjustment of your child support

obligation amount in accordance with the Virginia Child Support Guidelines, but it will be up to you to present sufficient evidence

to persuade the judge hearing the matter that the adjustment is warranted

under the circumstances.
