Child Custody & Visitation

Virginia Beach Child Custody Lawyers

Child custody and visitation issues are often the most hotly-contested aspects of a divorce. At Joseph W. Hood, Jr. & Associates, we have years of experience successfully helping clients involved in child custody and visitation disputes.

Most people are unaware that there are two types of child custody in Virginia: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody involves the decision-making process regarding the children, including such topics as religious upbringing, medical decisions, and education.

Physical custody is where the children will have their primary residence. Physical custody can be sole, and the child will live with just one parent, or joint, where both parents provide a residence for the child.

The child custody and visitation attorneys at Joseph W. Hood, Jr. & Associates, employ a team approach to their family law practice. That team approach takes advantage of the combined experience and diverse backgrounds of all our attorneys, drawing up over 25 years of legal experience handling child custody and child visitation matters.
