Question

My child's father and I agreed to a written out of court agreement for child support, however, I am now feeling like it was a mistake. If I continue on with a court petition for child support, will they enforce our agreed upon child support arrangement or will the courts enforce an order they see fit?!

Answer

The court will enforce the order which was properly entered by the court

and which likely conforms to the Virginia Child Support Guidelines.
