Everyone is legally obligated to support the children they bring into the world. If you are the father or the mother, you must contribute to the cost of supporting your child.

In 2001, the law in Virginia was amended to allow a man who has been determined to be the father of a child to have that determination set aside if genetic testing establishes that he is not the father.
