Most people don't have a law degree and don't practice divorce and custody law for a living. But a little knowledge of the process can be very helpful. I want to give you the benefit of my entire 16 years in practice as a divorce and custody lawyer. If you have a separation, divorce, custody, visitation or support case in Virginia, then this book is for you. Family law is confusing, and when the stakes are so high in divorces, custody and support situations it is natural for you to be anxious or scared. Even talking to an attorney about these things can be intimidating, but with a grasp of some of the fundamentals of the applicable law you can make your consultation with an attorney both more productive and less stressful. This easy-to-understand book breaks down some of the most basic, but crucial, information about family law matters in Virginia courts. Understand separation and divorce in Virginia, and learn about the process used by the courts to divide property and debts. If spousal support or alimony is an issue for you, gain insight on the various phases of spousal support and how each is determined. Formulate the best plan for getting the kind of child custody or visitation arrangement that you want. Be sure that the child support in your order is calculated correctly. Figure out how Virginia courts enforce their orders, so that you can determine how best to keep the other side honest. This is an invaluable reference tool for people facing a separation or divorce, or for people who are locked in a custody or visitation battle with their child's other parent. Be more informed, and make better decisions.
