Virginia Child Custody

Virginia recognizes and supports the concept of joint legal custody. Joint legal custody affords both of the parents a right to be involved in the important decisions affecting their children. Joint legal custody does not require that the child spend an equal amount of time with both parents. The court will generally approve any agreement concerning custody reached by the parents, so long as it appears to be in the child's best interest.

Child Support

Virginia has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education.
