Well, I don't know the law in VA and wouldn't venture to tell you what it is. Here in Oklahoma, it's pretty much the same. I can see how your guy gets out of paying Child Support by being in prison. You can hardly blame him for that...
There are any number of ways for you to go after a non-incarcerated deadbeat parent, however. In Oklahoma, we have garnishments, you can file contempt charges against them (which are quasi-criminal and could involve jail time), you can keep them from getting their driver's license, etc.
Going after deadbeat moms and dads is going to be something I'll probably end up doing a lot of once I get my intern's license (next semester).

VA is one of those kooky commonwealth states. ive lived here my whole life, studied as a paralegal, and still dont pretend to know much!
one thing i love is the license suspensions.

Assuming the absent parent is working under the correct SSN that Support Enforcement has, then going after wages, tax returns would work. If they are paid under the table, then DCSE has little to go on.
All the custodial parent can do is keep fighting.
I work for Social Services and see this ALLLLLL the time.
LOVE the refund intercept and license suspension.  Yay VA.

and the best part about that? when you do finally get pulled/catch a road block, they arrest you and your bail is set at whatever your back support is. a girlfriend i know was getting $12 a month in C.S., and when her ex got pulled, he had to cough up his $4500 owed, or spend a year in jail. funny how fast he found that money...
