Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

reference already awarded child support in divorce decree?
In June of 2002 my husband was ordered by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations court to pay me child support. We are now proceding with our pro se divorce and there is a clause in the final decree which says, ''ADJUDGED, ORDERED and DECREED that neither spouse is required to pay spousal or child support to the other, and therefore, Section 20-60.3 is not applicable''.
I remember the JDR people telling me that I was not to reference the child support in my divorce paperwork or it would take it out of the Juvenile court's jurisdiction.
How do I handle this clause in the divorce decree? Should I eliminate it, or state that child support has already been determined by the JDR court? Thank you so much.
