Practice Limited to Family Law and Related Matters

In resolving most disagreements, the courts focus on one primary consideration - what is in the best interests of the children?

At Batzli Wood & Stiles PC we represent divorcing parents dealing with the legal issues inherent in dividing the financial and emotional responsibility of raising their children.

Psychological as well as financial matters come into play when determining child custody arrangements and child support. Child custody evaluations are an important part of the process in more difficult cases.

In the context of the discussion on child related matters, topics of dialogue may include the following:

• Factors that determine the amount of child support that a non-custodial parent will be responsible for
• Ways of assigning responsibility for "extras" such as braces or college tuition which are not covered by statutes
• Ways of determining each parent's income, including self employed parents, or business owners for whom business valuation with the assistance of economists, vocational experts, or accountants is necessary
• The role that mutual consent can play in reaching an agreement regarding child custody, private school tuition, college tuition, or other matters not spelled out in Virginia statutes

The children's "best interests" are not just words at this law firm. We work with mental health professionals who understand the many facets of parent-child bonds. They are well-qualified to testify from an informed viewpoint as lawyers of Batzli Wood & Stiles PC advocate on behalf of parents seeking custody or visitation rights.
