Randall J. Borden represents City of Alexandria clients in divorce, custody, support, and modification matters throughout Old Town, Del Ray, Rosemont, Eisenhower East, and Potomac Yard. We appear regularly in the Alexandria Circuit Court at 520 King Street and the Alexandria Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
Alexandria is an independent city in Virginia — not part of Fairfax County. That means its own circuit court, its own J&DR district court, its own local rules, and its own judges. Filing in the correct venue and knowing the practical realities of the Alexandria docket matter. Three decades of practice across Northern Virginia means we know what to expect on every Alexandria docket.

Alexandria-Specific Issues
Independent-City Jurisdiction
Because Alexandria is an independent city — not part of Fairfax County — cases must be filed in Alexandria courts, not Fairfax. The mechanics of cases overlap, but venue determines which judge, which mediator, and which court calendar you are working with.
Old Town Historic Homes
Equitable distribution of Old Town real estate involves historic-designation considerations, often unique appreciation patterns, and sometimes inherited or generational ownership. These require careful valuation and characterization analysis.
Federal and Military Population
Alexandria has a substantial federal-employee and military population (Fort Belvoir is nearby, the Pentagon is just up the road). Cases often involve TSP, FERS, military retired pay, and locality-pay components.
