Schedule a Consultation
Call 703-385-8722 or request a confidential consultation. Initial consultation with the attorney — not delegated to a paralegal or intake specialist.
Annulment. Where a marriage may never have been legally valid, Virginia law allows a suit to annul it rather than to end it by divorce. See our Northern Virginia annulment page for the statutory grounds and the strict two-year deadline.
Looking for a family lawyer in Northern Virginia?
Most people searching for a family lawyer are not sure which area of family law their situation falls under — and often it falls under more than one. A separation raises property division and support at the same time; a custody dispute frequently arrives with a modification question attached.
Every matter on this page is handled by Randall J. Borden personally. There are no associate hand-offs, which in family law means the attorney who takes your first call is the attorney who appears in court. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law, admitted in Virginia and Maryland, and has practiced from the same Fairfax office since 1995.
If you are not sure where your situation fits, start with the Northern Virginia overview, or call 703-385-8722 and describe it — that is usually faster than guessing from a list.
