What happens in Virginia divorce if we just can’t agree?
I have a case where everything is negotiated down to one of the tiniest points imaginable. Without giving specifics, I’ll just say that it amounts to about an hour or parenting time one day a year – literally, one single hour. No one is budging. In my client’s defense, her husband has been fairly abusive…
What day to day details do I have to share with my child’s father? Part 2
On Friday, we talked about the day to day details of your child’s life as it relates to school – pictures, report cards, parent teacher conferences, and more.

College Expenses in Virginia Custody Cases
One thing to remember about custody and visitation cases in Virginia (and everywhere else) is that you’re playing a long game.
