Core Family Law Issues
Our firm’s philosophy is rooted in strategic planning and meticulous preparation. As the firm’s founder, I, Mr. Sris, personally led the effort to successfully amend Virginia Code § 20-107.3, the Commonwealth’s equitable distribution statute. This experience gives our firm a unique and profound understanding of how to protect our clients’ financial futures. By keeping my personal caseload purposefully limited, I ensure that each client benefits from deep involvement and careful planning. This ethos extends to our entire team of veteran attorneys, who bring well over a decade of practice experience to every case.
Our experience across Hampton Roads allows us to effectively represent clients. Here are some anonymized examples of our work in nearby jurisdictions.
Case: Family Law Matter Jurisdiction: York County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court Outcome: DISMISSED. Our strategic defense led to a full dismissal of the case.
Case: Family Law Matter Jurisdiction: Williamsburg/James City County Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court Outcome: DISMISSED. We secured a dismissal, protecting our client from further proceedings.
The process begins by filing a Complaint for Divorce at the Hampton Circuit Court Clerk's office, provided you meet residency and separation requirements.
Either you or your spouse must have been a resident of Virginia for at least six months prior to filing.
Virginia uses an "equitable distribution" model. Marital property is divided fairly, but not necessarily 50/50, based on numerous factors.
The cost varies. An uncontested divorce is significantly less expensive than a contested divorce that requires a trial.
It is highly recommended to ensure your separation agreement is drafted correctly, protects your rights, and all court documents are filed properly.
When you are facing the aftermath of a serious accident, you need more than just a lawyer.
