A tough, no nonsense divorce and custody lawyer for women only who reside in Virginia Beach and Newport News.
Because most abuse cases are very difficult to prove, your Virginia divorce attorney should be not only someone you can trust, but also an experienced litigator in domestic violence trials.
An effective Virginia divorce attorney in your case will be one who can prepare you for the many tricks and tactics that your abusive husband and his attorney will no doubt employ during your divorce and child custody hearings. Protective orders can be hard to get, yet are often easily satisfied when your abusive husband spends 3 sessions in a substance/alcohol abuse program, or completes a batterer's reform program. Dealing with Child Visitation
Going through a Virginia child custody case with an abusive husband will not be easy and there will likely be many advances and setbacks during the course of your case. This is where an experienced Virginia divorce attorney can really help make all the difference.
For example, your Virginia divorce attorney should keep you apprised of the dates of attendance required by your abusive husband in any court-mandated program. If he should show up at your door when you know he is supposed to be in attendance, you need to write that down and call your Virginia divorce attorney to have it verifiably documented.
In the absence of a protection order where your abusive husband gets temporary visitation rights, he may make it very hard for you to honor the order by always giving "good reason" why he had to alter the timeframe of his visits.
Keep your cool. Calmly explain why he cannot take his child/children at this time, but that they would love for him to take her to the zoo tomorrow. Then call your Virginia divorce attorney to update her on the event.
Above all else, remember these key facts: your abusive husband is nothing without his power over you. He may be calculating in not showing it, but he is beside himself with frustration and self-doubt. Continue to calmly face him with reason and without fear. You have the power now.
