Virginia Property Settlement Agreement Lawyers
In Virginia, the parties have the option of reaching a voluntary agreement resolving their concerns raised in the divorce. The court will enforce the agreement once it is in writing, signed, sworn to by both parties, and properly notarized. Oral agreements dividing the marital property may also be enforceable.
A Property Settlement Agreement is a written contract between the parties that sets forth their rights, duties and obligations that arise out of their separation and divorce and may include such things as the division of their property, spousal support, attorney’s fees, custody of their children, and child support. Such agreements are encouraged since they may amicably settle the rights of the husband and wife in the estate and property of the other.
The SRIS Law Group Virginia divorce lawyers understand that divorce is a very emotionally charged issue and it can make the divorce process very difficult. Our divorce attorneys have the knowledge of the divorce, custody and property laws in Virginia and we do our best to help our clients get through this very complex period of their life.
Virginia Child Support Guideline Lawyers Divorce Shared Custody
The Virginia state child support guidelines provide an amount of child support that is presumed to be correct. However, the Virginia child support law allows for deviations based on certain factors. Non-custodial parents who have their children for more than 90 days per year for visitation have their child support calculated using a different formula that is likely to make the support lower. This is called a shared custody guideline calculation.
Virginia Child Custody Visitation Divorce Lawyers Joint Legal Sole Best Interests
Virginia Judges determine custody of minor (under eighteen) children using the “the best interest of the child” standard. The court may award “joint legal custody” where both parents have a role in making decisions for the child, or “sole legal custody” where one parent is ultimately responsible for making decisions in the child’s best interests.
Factors considered by the court when awarding custody may include the age of the parent and child, the physical and mental condition of each parent and child, the relationship existing between each parent and each child, the needs of the child, the role played by each parent in the upbringing and caring for the child, the home where the child will live and the child’s wishes if the child is of sufficient age, intelligence, and maturity to make such a decision.
Visitation rights will normally be set by the court if the parents cannot voluntarily agree upon satisfactory arrangements.
Spousal Support Virginia Divorce Lawyers
Spousal Support & Virginia Divorce Lawyers
Spousal support is is provided to lessen the financial impact of divorce on the party who is less financially independent. The amount awarded for support depends upon such factors as the respective ages of the parties, assets and earning potential of the parties and the duration and history of the marriage. The court may award spousal support in periodic payments and/or in a lump. Periodic payments could be awarded for either a set number of years or an indefinite period of time.
Virginia Equitable Distribution Marital Property Lawyers
Virginia divorce laws provide for the “equitable distribution” of the marital property between the parties at the conclusion of the divorce. There are three types of properties in Virginia divorce cases.
Marital property
Separate property
Hybrid property
Under Virginia’s system of “equitable distribution” the court does not necessarily have to divide the marital property on an equal basis.

Family Lawyer in Virginia
In Virginia, there are two types of divorces. An absolute divorce and a limited divorce.
An absolute divorce in Virginia (a.k.a “divorce a vinculo matrimonii“) is the termination of a marriage based on misconduct during the marriage or other statutory factors arising during the marriage. The outcome of an absolute divorce in Virginia is that both parties resume single status.
Virginia also allows a limited divorce (a.k.a “divorce a mensa et thoro“). Generally a Virginia limited divorce is commonly referred to as a divorce from bed and board; the right of cohabitation is terminated but the marriage is undissolved and the status of the parties is not altered.
In Virginia, an uncontested divorce is fairly common.
