Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
My state is VA
My child's father quit his job and is sicking an adjustment of the child support order to pay less and have me pick up her health issurance. Is "quitting your job" a valid reason, in the eyes of a judge, to lower child support payments?
Thank you.

If he is voluntarily quitting his job his reduction in income will not be recognized by the Court, thus he will not be able to reduce child support.
