In Virginia, custody, visitation, and child support agreements must be carefully considered in divorces involving children. Divorces can be sought after in an uncontested or contested manner. In an uncontested divorce, the parties file a settlement agreement to the court after agreeing on all terms, including those pertaining to the children. The court may step in to decide child support obligations, visitation dates, and custody in a contentious divorce. In Virginia, a divorce including children can be complicated; mediation programs and legal counsel might help.
