Q: Need Info On a Petition/Custody. Was Not Informed About Thing.. What type of Edvidence Do I Need To Bring?
What kinds of documentation Will I Need To Present If The Judge May Ask ? Recieved something in the mail about it , Kind Of Stuck Not Sure What To Expect.. Court Date Will Be In Richmond Va
A:
I can't say what type of documents you might need as each case is different and depends on the facts surrounding the children. You can review the broad factors the judge considers in any Virginia custody hearing here: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title20/chapter6.1/section20-124.3/
You would be best served to speak with a family law attorney local to Richmond, as it is always difficult to fight a case from out-of-state.
