Divorce for Women of Virginia: It's What We Do!

If you are a woman confronting or considering a divorce in Virginia, our six divorce attorneys are passionate and dedicated lawyers who want to help you secure appropriate support, custody and property.

For some women, the idea of - or the events that led to - your marriage coming to an end can be gut wrenching. You may have intense feelings of anger, frustration, disappointment, and fear about what the future holds. It is normal for you to be in turmoil when your finances are unclear and your children's future unsure.

As a woman considering or confronting a Virginia divorce, these concerns can be compounded by the rigorous demands of the legal system, specifically the process of divorce. You may be getting advice from friends and family who care about your well-being and are finding it difficult to discern what is right from wrong.

We understand that your dealing with a Virginia divorce is both a unique and an uncomfortable experience. One aspect of your divorce that does not have to be unique however, is obtaining exceptional and outstanding legal representation.

Whether you need someone to negotiate spousal support and child support or create a child custody agreement, you have peer recognized professionals who are prepared to handle any family law matter. If the distribution of your marital assets requires outside-of-the-box thinking, then your Hofheimer/Ferrebee attorneys are who you can rely on.

The Virginia divorce attorneys at Hofheimer/Ferrebee have dedicated their legal practice to exclusively representing Virginia women going through a divorce. Over the years we have successfully handled Virginia divorce cases for thousands of women, giving them the knowledge and legal services they needed to begin a new, fulfilling life not only for themselves but also for their children.

Why We Only Represent Women in Virginia Divorce Proceedings

In 1992, Charlie Hofheimer was concerned with the contradictions and conflicts that arose when attorneys represented a Father/Husband in one case and a Mother/Wife in the next. He decided to do what no one in Virginia had done before - create a unique law firm dedicated solely to educating and representing women in Virginia divorce and child custody cases.

In June of 2002, Jack Ferrebee and Charlie Hofheimer joined their practices to expand the legal services available to their respective clients.

Over the years, our attorneys and staff have developed a method of representing Virginia women that emphasizes compassionate understanding of their individual situations with effective advocacy of their cases. Our attorneys are recognized statewide and nationally for their ability to help resolve difficult issues with forward thinking legal strategies.

Our goal is to achieve the best results for you, through negotiation when possible or litigation when necessary.

The Virginia Divorce attorneys at Hofheimer/Ferrebee have extensive experience helping Virginia women in the areas of:

We regularly represent women in the Circuit Courts and Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton and Accomac, and in the North Carolina District Courts of Currituck, Dare and Perquimans. Throughout Hampton Roads and Tidewater Virginia, on the Southside as well as the Peninsula, from the Outer Banks to the Eastern Shore, we ensure that our clients are prepared for the intricacies involved in their custody, child support, spousal support, pension benefits and property trials or negotiations.

Education & Advocacy for Virginia Women

In our experience we have found that clients who are informed about the Virginia divorce process are more likely to obtain better outcomes.
