[VA] [VA] How do I reduce court-ordered child support obligations?

So right now it’s court ordered that I pay child support, but me and my wife aren’t divorced yet and are working on it. I’m filling out a parenting plan. If it says on the parenting plan that there shall be no child support payments due to either party—because that’s what we have agreed on—would that take away the child support payments I’m currently paying?

[IL] [IL] How do I get sole custody of my child whose father is non-compliant?

The father is not being compliant and doesn’t make an effort to be a part of the child’s life but refuses to agree on any custody arrangement. I am the mother and have had physical possession of the child since birth. The father doesn’t want to pay or help financially. He lies about not working and only gives me $11 a week. He is court-ordered to pay only $40 a month because he claims he isn’t working. However, I know he is employed because I frequently visit his workplace, which is near my job. He never asks about or shows interest in our child.
