Is it time for a consultation for divorce?
In my own personal opinion, one of the hardest things to do when it comes to divorce is to decide that it’s actually time to pursue it. Of all the women that I’ve spoken with over time, a few have referred to the proverbial ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’; or, in other words, they…
Why don’t you just divorce him?
I’ve been guilty of it, too, in the past. I’ve asked a friend, who confided in me about the misery involved in her relationship, why she stays. Why she doesn’t just go, because doesn’t she know she deserves better? These days, I try not to. Because I know it won’t help. Because I know…
Is he a narcissist? Common Themes in Virginia Divorce
I was reading a quote the other day that said that the best thing you can do for a narcissist is to give him a child. That was it – that was the end of the quote – but it really did get me thinking. It probably is the best thing you can do, because…
Women’s Entitlements During and After Virginia Divorce
Historically, divorce has been a bit of taboo. Henry VIII’s legacy notwithstanding, even the British royal family has had its own issues with its various brushes with divorce.

If you’re currently serving in the military, or your spouse is currently serving, and you’re considering a…
My marriage isn’t working out. What should I do?
There’s not a lot of things that feel scarier than divorce. It’s a big change, and it impacts all areas of your life. I think probably the scariest parts aren’t even what will happen to your retirement accounts or your house, but the ideological shift that takes place. Who are you, if you’re not your…
New Year’s Divorce Resolutions
Well, it’s officially the new year. With all those New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and eat healthy and be happy come some others. In fact, though it may not seem like it at first, they’re really along the same lines anyway. Separation and divorce are often part of a New Year’s resolution, too. I’ve…
Your attorney said WHAT?!
Divorce and custody cases are high stress situations. It’s not very often that I get an email or a call from a client who isn’t feeling pretty frantic. They want answers, and they want them now, and they can’t sleep until they get them. They’re so worried, and they don’t know how anything will turn…
