Randall J. Borden is a Fairfax County family-law attorney with more than thirty years of experience representing clients in divorce, custody, support, and modification matters. The office is in the heart of Fairfax City at 10627 Jones Street — minutes from both the Fairfax County Circuit Court and the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
Fairfax County is the largest jurisdiction in Northern Virginia and one of the most demanding family-law dockets in the Commonwealth. Local practice matters here. Knowing how a particular judge weighs custody-evaluation testimony, how the J&DR court schedules contested hearings, which mediators are reliable in high-conflict cases — that institutional knowledge takes decades to build, and it applies directly to your case.
