Our goal in providing effective representation is to achieve for our client a resolution to family legal
problems without unnecessary legal fees or emotional costs. We expect our client to have a central
place in a team effort. Careful attention is paid to the client's desires, as well as the factual and legal
issues regarding assets, expenses, sources of income, support and the children.

The goal in most family law matters is the completion of a written agreement which expresses clearly a
satisfactory resolution of all issues. Most of our divorce cases are concluded with a document which
addresses in detail the issues of custody of children (often called a “Parenting Plan”), division of
property, whether alimony or child support is to be paid by one party to the other, what circumstances
may affect an adjustment of the amount of support to be paid, what insurance is to be maintained, and
various income tax considerations. Although guidelines for the resolution of some issues are provided
by Virginia law and its customary application, it is the unique situation of each family that shapes the
resolution of both financial and personal issues.

It is frequently necessary to appear in Circuit Court or Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court to obtain
temporary orders to clarify financial and custodial responsibilities or to obtain information necessary to
the discovery process. In those few cases which can only be resolved finally by a court, we are prepared
to provide effective representation at trial.
