Child support is the amount of monetary support agreed to by the parties or awarded by the court for the support of the parties' children. Factors to consider for child support include childcare costs, health insurance costs, the incomes of each party, after spousal support is determined, and the timesharing arrangements for the children.
There is usually little difference between the child support amounts set during separation (the Pendente Lite period) and at a final custody hearing unless some of the factors listed above change during the initial determination and the later determination.
As of July 1, 2014, the Virginia Child Support Guidelines have been revised pursuant to legislative changes of Virginia Code Section 20-108.2. These changes could potentially effect present and future support obligations and may even qualify as a material change in circumstances for those seeking a modification of child support. The first major revision to Virginia Code Section 20-108.2 modifies the formula used to calculate child support for those parents whose combined monthly gross incomes exceed $10,000. The second revision eliminates the obligation of the custodial parent to pay for unreimbursed medical expenses up to $250.00 before receiving reimbursement from the other parent.

No, because it is to paid to maintain the asset, not to provide support for a party.
If they used to earn more and now earn less due to decisions or actions they have taken, or they choose to be under employed, the court can treat them as having higher earnings.
If the person writing the check is supporting another child, a different calculation is used to keep some of that parent's income in their household for the benefit of the other child.
