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).
