iety of resources to help fit the needs of any Virginia woman facing a divorce or custody case. If you’re wondering where to get started, you can always request a free copy of one of our books, “What Every Virginia Woman Should Know About Divorce,” “What Every Virginia Military Wife Needs to Know About Divorce,” or “The Woman’s Custody Survival Guide.” Our attorneys also teach two different low-cost seminars, Second Saturday: What Every Virginia Woman Needs to Know About Divorce, designed to help teach women the ins and outs of divorce cases in Virginia, and Custody Bootcamp for Moms, a comprehensive, all-day seminar designed to help teach moms what they need to know to handle their own custody, support, and visitation cases at the juvenile court level. Our attorneys are skilled at negotiating and collaborating to reach a timely, efficient, and cost-effective solution for our clients, but aren’t shy--when our client’s best interest requires litigation, we bring it. We’re trial-tested, experienced, and passionate about the work that we do and the women that we serve.

It’s not easy to be able to move – especially if your child’s father will remain local and he’s objecting to it – with your child(ren) after a breakup or . You will have to make an argument based on the regular “best interests of the child” standard, but you’ll also have an extra hurdle to meet: the independent benefit to the child. This means that the reasons for moving have to go beyond additional economic opportunities or greater extended family involvement; there needs to be a specific, measurable benefit that will uniquely (and positively) impact the child(ren).

We know it’s not fair. He doesn’t acknowledge at all. Maybe he even went out of his way to try to ruin Mother’s Day! And it’s not that Mother’s Day and are hugely important holidays; it’s just nice to have a day set aside to acknowledge your contributions and support all the big and little ways you show up for the family.

You don’t have to help the kids pick out or make a gift. You don’t have to go out of your way to make the day special. You don’t really have to do anything at all. But it’s both giving good human and pro-healthy childhood, so, really … why not? And maybe – just maybe – it’ll be the olive branch he needs to do a little bit better next year. (And, even if he never changes at all, at least your kids will know – yet again – that you were the one who showed up, even when it was hard.)
