Does Harrisonburg have its own rule?
No. Va. Code § 20-108.2 applies across Virginia, so a case from Harrisonburg is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
Va. Code § 20-108.2 — Virginia schedule of monthly basic child support obligations. Virginia uses combined monthly GROSS income (before taxes). The schedule runs from $0 to $42,500 in $50 steps and the statute says amounts between rows are extrapolated; above $42,500 it adds 2.6% (one child) to 5.0% (six children) of the income over $42,500. The presumptive minimum order is $68/month. Work-related child care and the child's health insurance premium are added and split by income share; the shared-custody formula applies when the paying parent has more than 90 days a year.
