Q. The 11 yo child I am supporting was born in VA, I lived in PA. Child is not mine after 11 yrs what can I do?: 14 December 2018; A: If a father finds out he is not, in fact, the father, in Virginia he can file a motion to disestablish paternity, which can allow for a DNA test. Unfortunately, there is not much to be done about the money that is already paid. That is why if you believe you aren't the father, you should file something quickly. You would be well served to speak with a family law attorney local to the area where the child lives.

Q. Q: I live in Va and will be getting married in Las Vegas soon. Will my income still be part of my fiancé child support?: 3 January 2018; A: Virginia does not include a new spouse's income in child support calculations. If the order is from another state, the answer may be different.

Q. custodial father moved without notifying court or mother and says mother abandoned child, is father in contempt?: 3 January 2018; A: Impossible to say without knowing if there is a current court order in effect and what it might say. Have an attorney review the order and give you possible options.
