Family law is a broad term which refers to all aspects of legal issues involving marital and family relationships. While family law practitioners often concentrate in divorce cases, the practice itself is broad and inclusive.
A marriage is a legal relationship, and dissolution of the marriage can occur only through the courts. At times, divorce can be accomplished amicably; other times, litigation is required. Issues almost always include division of marital property, child custody and support, spousal support or alimony, and marital debt.
In Virginia, if all of these issues are resolved by an agreement which is reduced to writing, the parties can be divorced after a six-month separation (without minor children) or a one-year separation (with minor children).
The attorneys at Lichtenstein Fishwick & Johnson understand that it is often in your interest to dissolve the marriage in the least destructive manner possible.
When litigation in divorce becomes inevitable, aggressive, knowledgeable and experienced attorneys are vital to the protection of your rights and to keep your interest the primary focus.
