Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

My daughter graduated high school in Jun 2011. I filed a motion to amend child support a month before she graduated (with the graduation date appearing on the motion). The court ordered a parenting class and mediation and set a court date in mid July. My ex spouse hired an attorney who sent a letter to the court saying we did not need to go to mediation since there is nothing to mediate. The attorney drafted a support agreement that says the effective date is the date when I sign the agreement - which I have not signed yet. What does the law say (and what law) is the effective date of the amended child support?
