Crouch & Crouch serves clients in family law matters throughout Northern Virginia, and occasionally in other parts of Virginia or as consultants to local lawyers in certain non-Virginia cases.
Some typical family law matters the firm handles are: divorce; separation agreements; collaborative law; child support; alimony/spousal support; child custody; visitation; child abduction; enforcement; divorce-related land deeds; pension division; premarital agreements; and stepparent adoptions.
Both of our attorneys have particular expertise in dealing with international and inter-state cases; military families; international organization employees; government employees; and especially State Department/Foreign Service employees. In addition, Richard Crouch practices Legal Ethics and Legal Malpractice law, acting in such cases as an attorney, an expert witness, and an advocate in disciplinary hearings. John Crouch practices Collaborative Family Law, and also does wills and estate planning.
