Our attorneys assist with the full range of issues, all in one place, and with one coordinated strategy:

• Custody & Visitation. We help mothers pursue arrangements that reflect a child’s best interests and daily realities. Parenting schedules are crafted to align with school calendars, medical needs, and work routines, with clear provisions that reduce conflict.
• Child Support. We prepare the financial foundation the court needs to calculate fair support. When numbers change, we guide mothers through modification or enforcement.
• Divorce & Separation Agreements. We manage contested and uncontested divorces with respect and precision. Property division, parenting terms, and support obligations are addressed in a way that protects both parental rights and financial stability.
• Modifications & Enforcement. Life evolves. We handle changes to custody or support when circumstances shift, and we move quickly when the other parent fails to comply with an existing order.
• Relocation & Parental Moves. We advise mothers who need to move for work, family, or safety. We prepare the evidence and notices required when a move affects an existing parenting plan.
• Protection from False or Harmful Claims. When allegations of neglect, abuse, or interference arise, we act immediately to safeguard your credibility and preserve your parental role.
• Support for Unmarried Mothers. We assist mothers who need to establish paternity to obtain child support or formalize custody rights. Our team helps file the necessary documents and navigate the process with care and clarity.

Balancing Cooperation & Strength in Every Case

Family law often sits at the intersection of conflict and care. Many mothers want a process that lowers tension and preserves a working relationship with the other parent. At the same time, rights must be protected. We believe in balance.

Whenever possible, we use negotiation and mediation to reach agreements that minimize emotional and financial strain. These methods give mothers a stronger voice in shaping parenting arrangements and can help families avoid repeated court appearances.

When cooperation is not enough, we litigate with clarity and preparation. We present facts in a steady, respectful manner, and we support each argument with credible evidence. This dual approach, cooperative where it helps and assertive when it is necessary, allows mothers in Fairfax County to protect their families and maintain peace of mind.
