§ 63.2-910. Child support for child placed in foster care where legal custody remains with parent or guardia...

Responsible persons shall pay child support for a child placed in foster care through an agreement where legal custody remains with the parent or guardian pursuant to subdivision 4 of § 16.1-278.2 or § 63.2-900, from the date that the child was placed in foster care. The agreement between the parents and the local board or public agency shall include provisions for the payment of child support. In fixing the amount of support, the court, the Division of Child Support Enforcement, the local board or the public agency shall consider the extent to which the payment of support by the responsible person may affect the ability of such responsible person to implement a foster care plan. If the responsible person fails or refuses to pay such sum on a timely basis, the local board or public agency may petition the juvenile court to order such payment.
