When it comes to family law matters, there is nothing more frustrating than trying to fix a problem to which you do not have all the answers. For many people, their family law matter is one of the most difficult times of their lives. Virginia’s laws surrounding family matters are complex and can be difficult to understand.

Family law cases in Virginia can look very different from case to case because there is a wide range of potential issues and circumstances that exist in the family dynamic or may arise through the case process. When facing a family law matter, it is easy for people to become overwhelmed, confused and frustrated; therefore, we recommend that you obtain the support, knowledge, and skill of an experienced, local attorney. Family law matters often involve sensitive issues that can affect those involved for a very long time. You need to feel comfortable confiding in your attorney and in the advice that they provide. You need an experienced attorney who will be able to provide efficient legal representation. 

In Virginia, the following family law matters may warrant the support of a qualified attorney:

Divorce - Whether a divorce is contested or uncontested, a divorce can be an incredibly stressful experience. With the support of a knowledgeable attorney, the emotional burdens often associated with the divorce process can be alleviated.   Moreover, a skilled divorce attorney will provide peace of mind, as they will explain the process and provide support during difficult negotiations and handle court matters when necessary.  

Child Custody – For most parents, your child is first and foremost in any consideration and nothing is more important than arranging a custodial schedule that supports and promotes the best interests of your child. Child custody cases can be notoriously difficult. Typically, the court will attempt to assure “frequent and continuing contact with both parents, when appropriate. The court encourages both parents to share in   responsibility between of child-rearing. With proper legal support, parents can often decrease tensions, lessen fighting or arguing, and  minimize the effect on their children. In fact, psychological studies show that divorce or not living in a nuclear household itself is not the greatest predictor of difficulties for children, but rather the amount of conflict involved whether in a nuclear household or in separate households. Skillful legal support can negotiate on behalf of the parents, ultimately establishing a plan that works in the best interests of the children involved. 

Child Support – Child support can be exasperating and distressing to come to terms with.  Some parents believe that they are paying too much in support while the other parent is squandering that money and not using it for the children. On the other hand, other parents believe that they receive far too little to help them support their children. Under current state law, both parents have an obligation to the financial well-being of their children. When a parent primarily resides with one of the parents or there is a large financial disparity, child support may be paid from one parent to the other parent. Determining child support payments can be a difficult undertaking especially in the case of self-employed or independent contractors. To ensure the most accurate calculations are made, the support of a qualified child support attorney should be enlisted.
