Defining the Optimal Outcome and Best Approach for You
It is critical to understand how our Virginia courts will view any issue involving child custody and visitation rights. The best interest of the child is the dominant concern for every order regarding both:
- Physical custody — addressing where the children will live and how parents will divide or share responsibility for their daily care, and
- Legal custody — addressing each parents' role in important decisions about children's education, health care, activities, religious upbringing
There is an established list of 12 factors that may be considered, and we will walk you through this list in a focused effort to help you set expectations and develop the ideal approach to your case.
