Handling All Divorce-Related Concerns

We help clients resolve a broad range of family law issues that arise within the divorce process, from contesting prenuptial agreements to establishing property division agreements and child custody arrangements. Our lawyers can guide you through the process of divorce, and provide quality representation in divorce matters involving:

  • Child custody: Child custody, visitation and child support are among the most sensitive issues within a divorce. It is critical to recognize that while this time is difficult on you, it is exponentially traumatic for your children. Courts examine many factors when determining child custody, with the goal of protecting and promoting the best interests of the children.
  • Property division: Virginia divorce laws provide for the equitable distribution of marital property in divorce. This means that rather than dividing marital property equally, it is divided in a manner that the court deems fair. The court considers many factors when determining equitable division of marital property. We can help ensure your interests are taken into consideration.
  • Alimony/spousal support: As with property division, many considerations are made when determining whether spousal support should be awarded. Because spousal support is intended to provide financial stability to the dependent spouse, it is not required in all instances. The court focuses on the need of the parties and the ability to pay.
