Norfolk Child Custody & Visitation Attorneys

Trustworthy Legal Representation Serving the Hampton Roads Area

Any family law proceeding can be emotionally charged, especially when children are involved. Child custody and visitation agreements are important matters that should be handled by experienced, understanding, and trustworthy legal professionals.

As defined in Chapter 6.1, Title 20 of the Code of Virginia, the above can be awarded as either joint, where parents remain equally responsible for the physical and/or legal custody of the child, or sole custody, where one parent is the primary authority. Visitation schedules will also be determined by a family law court, but visitation can be adjusted at a later time if necessary.

At Foley & Foley, P.C., we know that this time can be stressful but our Norfolk child custody lawyers are here to help you and your family.
