[quote=Anonymous]Hi,

I am planning to move from VA to DC as my child is starting in a new private school in MD. My child support was awarded by a VA court a couple years ago -I have sole custody, and the father who lives on the west coast pays child support, till the kid is 18 or graduates from high school. I would like to seek advice from people on child support who experienced the similar situation:

1. Since no one related in this case will be in VA any more, can I move the jurisdiction to DC?
2. If I can move the jurisdiction to DC, should the child support agreement be modified based on DC laws? For example, DC requires child support to be paid till the kid is 21. 
3. Can I also ask the DC court to add the private school tuition and extra curriculum activities for consideration of child support? The kid was attending public school when the current child support agreement was awarded, and the father refused to pay any extra curriculum activities back then (arguing these were not stipulated by VA law to be paid). But now the extra curriculum activities cost much more, and the private school tuition is 40K+. The father's reported income is 1.5 to 2 times of mine. I don't have any spousal support.

Many thanks for your help![/quote]
