Divorce
Many people who live in Northern Virginia are members of the military. Unfortunately, some of these married couples have or will file for divorce. Divorces are never easy, but when one or both spouses are members of the military, the divorce can be even more complicated. If you are in the process of filing for a military divorce and need the help of an experienced military divorce lawyer, call Claudia Zucker.
Child Support
Itâ€™s difficult enough for any couple to go through a divorce. However, when youâ€™re in the military, divorce is usually more intricate and problematic for you than it is for civilians, and raises many questions. Where do you file? What happens to your children if you are transferred or deployed? What about child support and visitation? How will you divide up your marital property, including subsistence and housing allowances, combat pay, bonuses, military pensions and survivor benefits?
Child Custody and Visitation
Paternity
Establishing paternity of a child requires a lot more than just a DNA test. The father of a child must be legally recognized as such in order for him to exercise his rights and responsibilities as a parent. In cases where paternity is unsure or contested, it is vital that you seek legal counsel from a knowledgeable family law attorney with experience handling paternity suits.
Premarital Agreement
A significant part of family law in Virginia is dedicated to the division of assets and debts in divorce. Unless there is a prenuptial agreement in place, when you and your spouse are divorced, you are both likely to get nearly equal shares of the marital property. For this reason, if you're planning on moving any money around, it's a good idea to do it before you announce your decision to divorce. For instance, you might have a balance on a credit card. If that's the case, it might be in your best interest to use some of that money to pay it off before you file for divorce. That way, that portion of your savings will not become "marital property" and added to the asset pool. A qualified VA divorce lawyer can assist you in identifying ways to protect property and money that you deem as individually owned, but might not be recognized that way by the courts.
Spousal Support
As if that werenâ€™t enough, couples who decide to divorce actually take some real financial risks in doing so. Since one party may choose to file for spousal support (or alimony), if you were to approach your case with the wrong legal counsel, it could seriously cost you.
Legal Separation
Because I practice family law in northeastern Virginia, a number of my clients are transplants from other states who have moved to the Fairfax area for employment. While many facets of the dissolution of marriage process are universal, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia with regard to grounds for divorce and legal separation are quite different from those of other states. For instance, most states have some form of no-fault divorce, where neither party has to show cause to have the marriage dissolved. This type of divorce is also possible in the Commonwealth of Virginia, but it first requires a period of separation.
Annulment
Cases in which a U.S. citizen spouse files for an annulment instead of a divorce, claiming the immigrant spouse entered the marriage fraudulently in order to become a U.S. Â permanent resident
Child Abuse
If you have been falsely accused of child abuse or neglect in Fairfax County or anywhere else in Virginia, you are the victim of a crime. Notify your family law attorney immediately so that he or she can assist you in dismissing the allegations and establishing a new parental plan.

Misdemeanors
As a parent, you do have rights if you are falsely accused of child abuse or neglect in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Â§ 63.2-1513 of the Virginia Code makes it a misdemeanor for anyone over the age of fourteen to file a false report of child abuse for a first offense, and a felony for a second offense. Furthermore, the statute requires the respective child protective service agency to purge the record of the false child abuse report. If the party who made the false report has any contact with your child, you should notify your family law attorney of the pending charges against your accuser.
Restraining Order
As a family law attorney serving clients in the Fairfax-Arlington area of northern Virginia, many of my clients are embroiled in contentious divorces. Some are either justly or unjustly served with a protective order in the middle of the proceedings. While inconvenient, a protective order does not have to impact the outcome of your divorce settlement or custody battle, if properly defended. Your behavior, however, can certainly sway the way that a Fairfax Juvenile and Domestic Relations District or Circuit Court decides on certain aspects of your case. Consequently, it's important that you comport yourself with care. The following is a list of DO's and DON'Ts when served with a restraining order. This information is not to be construed as legal advice. If you are in a divorce or served with a protective order, contact a reputable Virginia family law attorney immediately.
