FAQ

Just because you came to a certain agreement during your divorce does not mean that you have to be bound to it forever. If you can show that there was a significant change in your circumstances from the time of agreement to now, you may be able to have your agreement modified.

To do this, you must file a joint petition for divorce with the court. This document must include information about your marriage, your children, and your agreement on all the divorce terms. Once you have filed the joint petition, the court will schedule a hearing.

The parent asking for a child custody agreement modification needs to file a motion to do so with the courts. In Virginia this is typically done in the same Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court that ordered the original custody agreement, although there may be some exceptions, such as if one parent has moved.

If you have a child under the age of 18, you must be separated for 12 months to file for a no-fault divorce. If you do not have any children that are minors, you must be living separately for 6 months, with a separation agreement in place, to file for divorce.

There are some general rules of thumb for parents to follow that will help kids through divorce: Try to be as calm as possible. This will make kids feel secure. Let kids know the divorce is not their fault. Do the best you can not to say anything bad about your spouse in front of the kids.

Modifying Child Support One of the parents must request the change by a formal motion to the court. The court that makes the original child support award has the authority to modify the order if conditions change. Either parent may request the court to change the order throughout the time the child is under 18.

Virginia courts will order joint or shared legal custody in most cases, even where the parents do not get along particularly well with each other, on the basis that it is best for the child to have both parents involved in the child's life.

Yes. However, a child support order may only be modified based on a material change in circumstances. Such a change in circumstances usually relates to the income of the parents, but can also relate to a change in the child's needs, or a relocation.
