A: I do not have enough information to give a good answer to this question. I would need to know where the divorce was filed. Was it filed in Virginia or Pennsylvania? If it was filed in Virginia, then hire a Virginia lawyer. If it was filed in Pennsylvania then hire a Pennsylvania lawyer. If the divorce was improperly filed in the wrong state then the case may ultimately proceed in a different state; however, you should initially consult with an attorney that is licensed to practice in the state where the divorce was filed.
