How to Determine Custody and Visitation 

When parents cannot agree on who will have custody or visitation regarding their children, the Court determines these matters. The Law Office of Thomas B. Dance, P.C., works with Virginia parents, and out-of-state parents with children in Virginia, who are working to gain or preserve the custody and visitation of their children. 

Specifically, we can help you by:

  • Preparing and filing initial petitions with a Court for legal and physical custody of your child
  • Moving the Court to modify or amend an existing custody or visitation order
  • Enforcing, through the Courts, custody and visitation orders that are not being honored
  • Creating plans for holiday, summer, and school year visitation
  • Litigating grandparent visitation rights

How Do I File for Primary Custody?

In the state of Virginia, a parent may file a petition requesting visitation or custody of their child. This petition should be filed in the Court Services Unit but will ultimately be decided by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. 

Because filing for custody can be a complicated process to the average parent and require an additional advocate beyond paperwork, it may be best to work with a Fredericksburg child custody and visitation attorney for professional legal support in your custody case.
