Saving Northern Virginia Families Time and Money
Obtaining a divorce doesn't have to be hard. I can make the process easy on you and everyone involved, saving you time and money. Divorce shouldn't be about rehashing the past. It should be about reaching agreements that will allow your family to heal going forward.
I — Lawrence D. Fabian — have 20 years experience practicing family law in Virginia. As a lawyer, I've witnessed the outcome of many expensive and time consuming litigated divorces, which often result in a 50-50 split of marital property. Why spend the time and money in court and not get what you want? Call my Woodbridge office at 703-595-2007 or contact me online to schedule your free initial consultation and find out if mediation may offer a better approach to your divorce.
Proving a Client-Centered Approach to Divorce
For many families, negotiation and mediation are the best approach to divorce. Going to court puts all of the power in the hands of a judge who does not know you or your children. By taking a collaborative approach to divorce, you and your spouse can come to an agreement that truly meets your family's needs.
Together, you and I will identify creative options that meet your family's needs. Every divorce is different, I will help you resolve all issues involved including:
- Property division
- Spousal support (sometimes called alimony)
- Child custody, support and visitation
Separation in Virginia
Did you know that you and your spouse need to be separated and living apart for one year before you can file for divorce in Virginia if you have children under 18? There are exceptions to this rule, and I can help you understand the legal course your divorce will follow:
- When fault is involved, parties can usually obtain a divorce more quickly.
- If you and your spouse are able to reach a detailed separation agreement, and do not have children under 18, you may be able to file for divorce after only six months of separation.
I will explain your options based on your situation and guide you through the entire process. As a solo attorney, I handle every aspect of my clients' divorces. You will never be passed off to an assistant at my firm.
I can make your uncontested divorce as easy and painless as possible. You may not even need to make an office visit. We can accomplish your uncontested divorce online and/or through e-mail correspondence.
