Randall J. Borden
Randall Borden has a reputation for both being well-practiced in the courtroom and getting things done as soon as the case starts, as well as being known for adept maneuvers in response to opposing Attorneys. Below are descriptions of his areas of expertise in Family Law in Virginia and Maryland.
Family Law Litigation
Although at the best of times, family relationships may seem far removed from courtroom battles, when serious friction becomes damaging or even toxic, legal solutions may be required. If you are considering divorce, now is the time to get in touch with our office in Fairfax. While divorce always involves some compromises, Attorney Borden will fight tirelessly for your and your children’s best interests and rights to ensure that your final divorce agreement meets your needs.
Divorce
Divorce, like marriage, is a legal as well as emotional undertaking. Fraught with potential areas of contention, divorce requires solid, empathic legal representation. You can count on Randall Borden’s in-depth knowledge of Virginia and Maryland state laws on grounds for divorce, valuation of marital and separate property, and all other matters involved in the divorce process. He will clarify the requirements for residency and a separation period, and advise you about whether fault-based or no-fault divorce is the best choice in your case.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child Custody and Visitation are typically the most sensitive issues in any divorce that involves minor children. It is crucial to have a family law Attorney who understands and clarifies the factors that may affect court decisions on child custody, such as the stability and lifestyle of each parent, the parent’s relationship with the child, and the child’s preference if the child is of appropriate age.
Child & Spousal Support
Child Support & Spousal Support are complex areas of family law and must be evaluated in terms of each parent’s income and earning ability, the needs of the child, the marital standard of living, and the duration of the marriage. In both Virginia and Maryland, specific guidelines dictate support amounts; however, an Attorney can argue for deviations from these guidelines based on unique circumstances.
Division of Property
Division of Property in both states adheres to the principle of equitable distribution, and both make a clear distinction between marital and separate property. The former is anything acquired during the marriage, while the latter is property acquired before the marriage or received by one party as a gift or lawsuit settlement. Bank accounts established during the marriage, whether held jointly or not are considered marital property. Randall Borden will make sure that all property is accounted for and all valuations are accurate.
Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence is a grave issue. It can significantly impact divorce proceedings and custody determinations or make modifications to the divorce agreement urgent. As your dedicated family lawyer, Randall Borden will take your side if you are a victim of domestic violence, seeking a protection order that forbids the abusive party from making contact with you.
You can rely on our Attorney to gather evidence and testimony to prove your claim and fight persuasively for you in the courtroom whether you are the victim or the party wrongfully accused.
Divorce Agreement Modifications
Modifications of Your Divorce Agreement may be necessary as circumstances change. Attorney Borden will help you petition the court for modifications to your divorce agreement for reasons that affect you or your child physically, emotionally, or financially, such as remarriage, relocation of a parent, or major changes in either parent’s income, physical or mental health.
