The Virginia Divorce Process
The best piece of advice a Virginia divorce lawyer can give a client is to try and reach a divorce settlement without the intervention of the court. The main reason for this advice is because a divorce in Virginia can be VERY expensive and should be used only when the spouses are unable to come to an agreement.
The Circuit Courts of Virginia decide issues of divorce, property division, maintenance, support and custody. After the court hears evidence of the specific facts of the case, it will decide these issues based upon Virginia statutes and precedent cases.
Generally, the following is how the Virginia divorce process takes place: Each person hires a Virginia divorce lawyer to handle the divorce. Whether the lawyer is going to negotiate a settlement or present a case to the court, the attorney must be knowledgeable and experienced so as to ensure that the client gets the benefit of all the law has to offer. The divorce lawyer represents only one spouse in the traditional attorney-client relationship that may involve litigation or result in a negotiated settlement.
The Virginia divorce lawyers of SRIS, P.C. have extensive knowledge in business valuation and dissolution, pension and retirement benefits, valuation of advanced degrees and licenses, child support, and custody arrangements.
The laws of equitable distribution of marital property in Virginia are complex, dynamic and constantly changing. Before agreeing to a property settlement in Virginia or before asking a Virginia divorce court to divide property, it is very important to conduct financial disclosure to determine how and when the specific property and all other assets were acquired. This is done either through an informal or formal discovery process. When discovery is done correctly, it is possible to find assets hidden by the other spouse, evidence of an adulterous affair, etc. Unfortunately, the discovery process in Virginia can be very time consuming and costly. The client should always weigh the costs of doing discovery versus the benefit of such extensive discovery.
An experienced and skillful SRIS, P.C. Virginia divorce lawyer will help guide the client through the maze of the laws and disclosure devices which may affect the client’s financial rights, obligations, and the division of property.
Our Virginia divorce attorneys and staff in Fairfax, Lynchburg, Manassas, Richmond & Virginia Beach speak the following languages in addition to English: Tamil, Spanish, French, Hindi, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Telugu.
Although our lawyers are licensed to practice in Virginia, Maryland and D.C., our Virginia divorce attorneys represent clients with divorces cases in Virginia only.
