Guiding Fathers Through Divorce in Fairfax County

Divorce affects every part of life, but for fathers, it often raises specific concerns about maintaining meaningful parenting time and preserving financial stability. At Sandground, West, Silek, Raminpour & Landers, PLC, we guide fathers through the divorce process with clear communication and steady support.

We help clients:

• Navigate property division, ensuring that marital assets and debts are accurately valued and fairly distributed
• Negotiate or litigate spousal support when appropriate
• Coordinate custody and support issues within the broader divorce strategy

Fairfax County courts expect parents to keep children’s well-being at the center of any divorce case. Our attorneys prepare fathers to meet that expectation with documentation, cooperation, and credible testimony. When disputes cannot be resolved amicably, we stand ready to present a well-prepared case before the court.

We Protect Your Parental Rights Through Every Stage of Custody & Visitation

For fathers in Fairfax, the custody process can seem uneven or uncertain, especially if they believe the system leans against them. We know those fears, and we address them with grounded legal strategy and practical guidance.

We help fathers pursue fair custody arrangements that reflect the best interests of their children while preserving their parental role. Our attorneys assist with:

• Establishing joint or sole custody, including both legal and physical custody arrangements
• Developing balanced visitation schedules that allow children to maintain strong bonds with both parents
• Addressing relocation or modification requests when circumstances change
• Enforcing existing custody orders or protecting against violations

When possible, we resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation. When necessary, we litigate decisively in court. Each case is handled with care, understanding, and the insight that comes from representing parents throughout Northern Virginia’s family courts for decades.

Navigating Child Support & Financial Responsibilities

Child support in Virginia is calculated using specific statutory guidelines, but the real-world impact depends on accurate information and fair representation. Our attorneys help fathers understand their financial obligations and ensure those figures are based on verified data: income, childcare costs, medical expenses, and other relevant factors.

We also assist with adjustments when life changes. Job loss, career shifts, and changes in custody or time-sharing can all affect support. Whether you are seeking to modify an order or challenge an unfair assessment, we advocate for outcomes that reflect your circumstances and your ongoing commitment to your child.

Our firm’s background in both family law and business litigation gives us a particular advantage in complex cases. We frequently work with fathers who own small businesses, manage family enterprises, or have irregular income streams. We help them document their finances clearly to avoid inflated or inaccurate support obligations.

Addressing Allegations That Threaten Parental Rights

In some cases, fathers face false or exaggerated claims of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. These accusations can immediately affect custody arrangements and long-term parental rights. Because our firm’s principals include former prosecutors with extensive courtroom experience in Fairfax County, we are prepared to handle these sensitive situations with precision.

We take a proactive approach: gathering documentation, identifying inconsistencies, and ensuring the court hears your side of the story. When the stakes involve both your reputation and your relationship with your children, we provide calm, strategic representation that focuses on facts and fairness.

Moving Forward with Confidence

No father should feel like a visitor in his child’s life. Whether you are beginning a custody case, modifying an order, or responding to a sudden legal challenge, Sandground, West, Silek, Raminpour & Landers, PLC is here to guide you forward.

We start with a conversation: about your goals, your family, and what matters most to you. From there, we build a plan that protects your rights and supports your relationship with your children.
