The Miller, Walsh & Kutz law firm understands the concerns of unmarried parents as well as those experiencing divorce. Virginia child support laws deem both parents responsible for the financial support of their children until age 18 (or longer in certain circumstances). The Code of Virginia sets out a Schedule of Monthly Basic Child Support Obligations to determine the appropriate amount of child support to be paid by each party. It’s important to understand the many factors the court considers when applying the Schedule to your case. Our skilled lawyers will take the time needed to learn about your unique situation and help you reach the most favorable determination possible.

Call us at 757-595-0123 or click here to contact us about the division of property. VIRGINIA SPOUSAL SUPPORTSpousal support (or alimony) varies greatly from case to case. Unlike child support, there is no clear legal formula the courts must follow. Virginia law takes several factors into consideration in determining the amount one spouse may be obligated to pay to the other. The attorneys of Miller, Walsh & Kutz are experienced in fighting for what is fair and equitable based on the circumstances of your case. We will help you reach the most favorable arrangement possible. LEGAL MARITAL SEPARATIONMany couples choose legal separation as a way of taking time to decide whether they want to pursue a divorce. While there is no formal legal status of "legal separation" in Virginia, by entering into a written separation agreement, couples are able to protect some of the benefits of being married without the financial responsibilities of marriage. These benefits may include anything from preserving medical insurance to adhering to personal religious beliefs. The attorneys of Miller, Walsh & Kutz will help you with the division of property, the legal issues of child custody and visitation, the protection of your finances, and your rights as a parent while separated from your spouse.
