What is a retainer agreement and what does it do?
If you’ve never hired an attorney before – and, let’s face it, few of us have – you probably have a lot of questions about what to expect and how it all works. I hired an attorney once for a personal injury case, and, even as an attorney myself, I felt a little bit like…
Do I need a divorce seminar?
These days, people get information in all sorts of different ways. I was scrolling through Facebook just this morning while I was blow drying my hair, and came across a really interesting article in Forbes about the new ioS 13 update and how we’ll soon be able to protect our private data (like location services)…
Is what I tell my divorce attorney confidential?
The things that you tell a divorce attorney are sensitive, maybe even more sensitive than the kind of information you might communicate to any other kind of attorney. A personal injury attorney usually comes to mind first; to her, you might only give details of your medical history related to a particular accident. While that…
Saving Money on Your Virginia Divorce
In a divorce, or for women facing a divorce, the potential cost is one of the scariest parts. People tell me literally every single day that they’re afraid they can’t afford to get a divorce. I won’t lie to you and tell you that divorce is inexpensive. I won’t tell you that I haven’t seen…

I probably also don’t need to tell you that, chances are, you’ll need an attorney to help you navigate this particular minefield. It’s unfortunate that you’ve found yourself in such…
Getting a Job After Divorce: Will I Have to?
Let me say, before I go too far, that no judge can FORCE you to go back to work. At least, there’s no way he (or she) can issue any kind of order that will require you to return to work if you don’t want to. Getting a job after divorce isn’t something that someone…
Can I talk to the JAG attorneys about my Virginia military divorce?
If you or your spouse is in the military, it’s only natural that, when your thoughts turn to divorce (or any other legal issue, for that matter), your mind jumps automatically to the legal services provided to military service members by the JAG attorneys. The military provides a great deal of incredibly valuable services to…
Inconvenient Forum: Divorce Filed Far Away
Technically, any court anywhere in Virginia has jurisdiction over your divorce. So, even if you live in Virginia Beach, your husband could file for divorce in Fairfax, if he wanted to—just to be difficult. Usually it doesn’t happen just because someone wants to be difficult (because he’d have to drive to and from Fairfax for…
