FAQs

Do I need an attorney when I get divorced?

The path to divorce can be intricate and fraught with legal hurdles. It's crucial to have an attorney by your side to safeguard your rights and interests. While it's theoretically possible to go through a divorce without legal representation, it's certainly not advisable. Our family law attorneys are here to provide you with sound advice, ensure all necessary paperwork is filed correctly, and represent your best interests during negotiations or in court.

Is there anything I should NOT say during a custody battle?

During a custody battle, it's critical to be mindful of your words as they can significantly impact the outcome. Avoid making negative comments about the other parent, as this can be viewed negatively in court. Also, refrain from discussing the details of the case or any ongoing legal proceedings on social media or with friends and family.

Can a child choose who they want to live with?

Children can certainly express their preferences. The court may take their opinion into account in custody cases, but that's just one of many factors. The decision ultimately depends on what the court determines is in the best interest of the child.

Is Virginia a community property state?

No, Virginia is not a community property state, it is an "equitable distribution" state. Any income and any real or personal property acquired by either spouse during a marriage may be divided by a court depending on what is considered fair by a Judge, but not necessarily equally. To ensure your property is protected, discuss your divorce case with a family law attorney.

This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.
