Virginia Divorce Laws: Establishing Custody and Family Support To file a divorce in Virginia one has to be a member of the armed force stationed in Virginia or be a resident of the state for a period of six months. The law of Virginia takes into account various factors while filling a divorce. Some of these divorce filing factors are also taken into consideration along with other factors in deciding the terms and conditions of child custody and alimony amount for family support. Custody is given based on the kind of relation that each parent had with his/her child in the past. Suppose in a case the husband is charged of adultery, but he shares a very positive relation with his child, then his adultery charges will not be a hindrance in getting the custody of his child. The need of the child is also taken into consideration, for example, if the child is too young then both the parents are given joint custody. The needs of the child will include his physical, mental and emotional need along with other needs like education and health. 8/30/2015Aaron Dishon2

Virginia Divorce Laws: Establishing Custody and Family Support The court will also assess the role that each parent played in the upbringing of the child. If the case permits the judge may ask the child whether he is comfortable with his father or his mother. The judge will see the financial ability of each parent to bring up the child. If one parent is not financially suitable to raise the child, the court may order the other parent to give the alimony amount to support the former. As long as the divorce proceedings continue in the court, the child can stay with both the parents. After the judge gives the final verdict regarding child custody, the child has to change his place of stay. It is seen that couples hire the best divorce lawyers to win the custody of their child, but, it is finally the court which decides the custodial issue. 8/30/2015Aaron Dishon3

Virginia Divorce Laws: Establishing Custody and Family Support The family support is also called ‘maintenance’ in Virginia and the following factors are taken into consideration: Firstly the court will assess the circumstances that led to the divorce. If one party is found guilty of adultery then he may be asked to pay a substantial alimony amount. The court will also see the physical, mental and financial condition of each party and then it will decide the alimony amount to be paid by the other party. The court will also see the duration of the marriage and the sacrifices made by each party during this time period. In certain cases the winning party claims the money that he/she has spent in the divorce case and in hiring the divorce lawyer along with the alimony amount. It is advised that if you have any further doubt regarding the same, then contact a good divorce attorney so that you get a fair justice in your divorce case. 8/30/2015Aaron Dishon4
