Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
I have a question to ask. I just got in the mail today an letter from the Department of Social Service/Child Support Enforcement. It is saying this

If someone can please explain this to me because I don't know why she is doing this.
She is my son aunt that has custody of him right now became he would not go to school for me or his mother. so the judge gave custody to his aunt. the question I have also does my wife get on of this papers also because it does not say anything on my paper if she did or not. we are not living together so it might not show up like that.
Also If I have a prepaid credit card to send down to my son does that matter if I do that so that why I am showing that I am sending money to him so he can get things.
Also as far as I know he is not going to stay down there that long so I don't know why there are getting involve with this case. unless his aunt is asking for it to help out down there. I did get an message saying that I can send anything that I would like to them to help out so I would like to see if they are just getting things set up or will I have to start paying child support for him why he is down there.
I am going to try to get him back ASAP if I can this was an case that my son was in as a Child in need of service for not going to school.
thank you for taking this and looking forward on your answer on this matter

Why is she doing this, you inquire, i.e., your son's aunt seeking child support and heath insurance coverage for YOUR minor child whom the court has apparently awarded custody of and who is therefore entitled to receive this support under Virginia law?
The answer is simple becasue she has a valid order for custody and apparently both you as well as your wife are not meeting your respective support obligations under the referenced law and so therefore she has had to enlist the services of DCSE to assist her with theser matters.
And, you had better show up for your scheduled appointment at the District
office with the required financial inforamtion if you want to keep driving your
car and to avoidi other possible adverse actions that could be taken against
you for failing to comply with DCSE's lawful requests in this matter.
