Child Custody, Support and Visitation Attorney Norfolk

Hampton Roads Family Law Attorney

Many law firms attempt to move clients through the legal process as quickly as possible, with little focus on preserving what really matters: family relationships.

At The Law Office of Kirk D. Berkhimer, we understand that the decisions that are made now will affect your family for years to come. Our focus is to help you solve your divorce and family law problems in a way that maintains congenial relationships between mother, father and child. It may not be easy. But focusing on what is best for the child is always important.

Child Custody

In making child custody determinations, Virginia courts focus on doing what is in the best interests of the child. In most cases, this means that the child will have frequent contact with both parents.

Child custody can be a very contentious part of a divorce or separation. Our law firm will help you through the child custody legal process with a focus on coming to a mutually beneficial arrangement that keeps your child's best interests in mind.

Visitation

Child custody and visitation issues often go hand-in-hand. If one parent is granted primary physical custody of the child, the other parent may be granted visitation. The goal of visitation (also called a "parenting plan") is to foster the relationship between the child and the parent who does not have primary custody.

Child Support

In Virginia, child support is determined according to child support guidelines. Each parent's income is considered, as well as the number of children. Attorney Kirk Berkhimer can guide you through the process of determining child support, and help you resolve any disputes that arise along the way. Find out more about children and divorce.
