Spousal Support (Alimony)
Sometimes referred to as alimony or spousal maintenance, spousal support is the amount of money paid from one spouse to the other in order to support the lifestyle to which the spouse had become accustomed to during the marriage. Not all cases involve spousal support payments. However, the courts take several factors into consideration when determining if spousal support is warranted in a specific situation, including:
- Each spouse's income & earning capacity
- Obligations, needs, and financial resources of the parties
- Length of the marriage
- Standard of living established during the marriage
- Age, physical, and mental condition of the parties
- Monetary and Non-Monetary contributions of the parties to the marriage
Property Division
In Virginia, property and assets are divided according to the laws of equitable distribution. This means that marital property and assets are divided and fairly, but not necessarily 50-50. We can assess your situation and determine how to pursue the property and assets to which you are entitled. It is also important to note that marital debts are also divided throughout the course of splitting property.
Child Support
Child support is ordered according to state-set presumptive guidelines and statutes, while being calculated using a specific formula. This formula takes into consideration a variety of factors, such as number of children, income of each parent and expenses (day care, health care, etc.). Our firm can handle initial child support cases and also help in the modification of standing child support orders.
Child Custody and Visitation
While child custody and visitation cases are most often handled based on a standard referred to as "the best interests of the child.". There are a variety of circumstances and factors that a Court can take into consideration when deciding a custody or visitation matter under this standard. We help clients understand the various types of custody and assist them in dealing with modifications if changes to the custody order need to be made.
