Family Law Overview

Focused on Your Best Interests When You Are Facing Divorce

At the law office of Edward V. O'Connor, Jr., P.C., we focus on the following areas of family law practice:

  • Divorce - We prepare clients for the divorce process by candidly communicating the issues involved and the problems that need resolution. That proactive approach can help you through some of the most difficult times in your life.
  • Child Custody - At the law office of Edward V. O'Connor, Jr., P.C., we want to know the role you and your spouse play in your child's life. Getting to the facts and looking out for the best interests of your children will help identify the best custody arrangement.
  • Child Support - While there are strict calculations related to child support, your son or daughter may have specific issues that need to be taken into account. We attend to every detail to ensure that a child support order reflects your son or daughter and what they really need.

  • Alimony/Spousal Support - Different jurisdictions have varying spousal support guidelines. Our experience in divorces throughout the state of Virginia has provided us with an in depth knowledge of the methods and discretion that area judges employ.
  • Equitable Distribution of Assets - In dividing property, a peaceful divorce can become quickly contentious. We strive to identify what is marital property and what is separate through detailed, fact-based investigations.
  • Pension Division - Dividing pensions is a complex process that requires a thorough knowledge of ERISA regulations. We have the experience and legal knowledge to fairly and equitably divide retirement plans and 401(k)s.
  • Health Insurance & Employee Benefits - Military and government employees seeking help with a divorce often deal with the division of retirement benefits. Knowledge of the law and attention to every detail is paramount to looking out for our clients and protecting their rights.
  • Post-Divorce Issues - While a divorce decree is considered finalized, post-divorce issues can come up, for example, when an ex-spouse remarries, moves or fails to abide by the original agreement.
  • Prenuptial Agreements - Taking a proactive approach prior to a marriage can establish clear ground rules for a couple. While not considered a romantic part of a new marriage, a premarital agreement can go a long way to allow you to avoid making critical decisions under the stress of divorce.
