Fairfax Divorce Attorney
Divorce can be a stressful and emotionally taxing experience. If you are considering divorce, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to proceed. The good news is that you are not alone. Statistics indicate that there are approximately 2.9 divorces per 1,000 Virginians. That works out to a divorce rate of about 10%, meaning that thousands of Virginians have successfully filed for divorce and are already on the other side. You are only steps away from joining them, and the experienced Divorce Attorneys at the Virginia Family Law Center are ready to help.
How the Virginia Family Law Center Can Help
Having an experienced advocate on your side to help you navigate the divorce process, ensure that your rights and interests are protected, and to fight for the best possible outcome for you and your family can give you an invaluable advantage while going through your divorce. Our lawyers can help you and your spouse reach amicable agreements on issues such as asset division and child custody so that you can maintain the maximum amount of control over the ultimate court order. When you and your spouse submit a settlement agreement, the court must only review it to either grant or deny it instead of having to weigh both sides and reach a decision on its own, which gives you both far more input into the final outcome. This also supports a far more time and cost effective divorce proceeding as it requires as little litigation and court time as possible. Of course, every case is different and an amicable outcome is not always possible. Our lawyers will review the facts and circumstances of your case and devise the best legal strategy based on your situation.
Other Ways Our Divorce Lawyers Can Help:
- Asset protection. Often, people get less than they deserve in a divorce settlement because they did not know about everything they were entitled to, either because assets were hidden, they were not aware of them, or they were not aware they were entitled to them. Our divorce lawyers ensure that all assets are accounted for and that you get your fair share of everything, including retirement benefits. If you have inherited a large sum, or you have a prenuptial agreement, it is also a good idea to talk to a lawyer before moving forward with the process to make sure you have full and complete information.
- Protect your business. If you started a business before or during your marriage, a divorce puts your ownership and business assets in jeopardy. It is important to retain legal counsel as soon as possible.
- Child custody and visitation. Regardless of your situation, a lawyer can help you come up with a plan for you and your children and work toward it as strategically and effectively as possible.
- Alimony and spousal support. Many times it is hard to know what you will actually require to continue supporting yourself and/or children after a divorce. Working with a lawyer ensures that you will not settle and that your needs will be met.
