Frequently Asked Questions
How is child custody determined in Virginia?
Virginia courts decide custody based on the child’s best interests, considering factors like each parent’s relationship with the child, ability to provide care, and the child’s needs under Va. Code § 20-124.3.
What is the difference between legal and physical custody?
Legal custody involves the right to make major decisions about a child’s health, education, and welfare. Physical custody determines where the child lives. Parents can share either or both types.

It is the process of dividing marital property fairly, but not necessarily equally, based on factors like each spouse’s contributions and the marriage’s length under Va. Code § 20-107.3.
