Custody Orders Aren’t Permanent: Modification and Relocation Rules

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Newport News custody orders are not permanent. Va. Code § 20-108 allows modification on changed circumstances, and Va. Code § 20-124.5 governs relocation. Both require the court to revisit the best interest analysis. Whether the request is yours or your co-parent's, the modification or relocation hearing decides the next chapter. I handle these cases for Peninsula families. Call me.

Protective Orders and Custody: One Hearing, Years of Consequences

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

When children are involved, a Hampton Roads protective order proceeding does double duty. It addresses immediate safety, and it sets the custody framework that often runs for years. I handle both sides of these cases, helping petitioners build the record that supports protection and helping respondents preserve a meaningful relationship with their children. Call me before the order locks the trajectory in place.

The standard divorce playbook does not work here. Call me to talk through your situation.

Adultery in Hampton Roads Divorce: When Fault Grounds Pay Off

by Anthony I. Shin, Esq.

Most Hampton Roads divorces don't need fault grounds. But sometimes pleading adultery under Va. Code § 20-91 changes the spousal support analysis, the equitable distribution outcome, or the timeline in ways that matter. I help clients decide whether fault is worth pleading, and how to prove it if we do. Call me.

Service members at NAS Oceana, Little Creek, Dam Neck, and Naval Station Norfolk have custody protections under Va. Code § 20-124.7 that purely civilian cases never touch. Visitation delegation during deployment, custody modifications upon return, and SCRA stays all come into play. I handle deployment custody cases for Virginia Beach military families. Call me.
