Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

If I am the Physical Cutodial Parent (mother) and the father is going back to court to reduce child support mostly for his insurance cost he has to carry for the kids. Am I obligated to be held at minimum wage? I am now in school and My new husband is in the military so we can afford for me to do school full time. I do not have a job. I just want to if I will be held for any amount as far as my income.

(See Va. Code Sec. 20-108.2.)
