Divorce
Child Support
Virginia’s child support laws are complex, making it crucial to have an experienced child support attorney on your side. Madigan & Scott, Inc.’s child support attorneys are dedicated to helping you understand your legal options and how they may affect your family’s future.
Child Custody and Visitation
In Virginia, the court has jurisdiction over all matters involving child custody. If there is no parental agreement regarding custody, the court will decide which parent should have custody based on the child’s best interests. Child custody is a critical decision, and navigating this process can be incredibly stressful. Contact a Child Custody Lawyer with Madigan & Scott, Inc. to ensure the best outcome in your case.
Adoption
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is worth considering when you or your future spouse has significant assets, debts, or children from a previous relationship. A prenuptial agreement can help protect your individual financial interests and clarify your intentions regarding property division, alimony, and other financial matters in the event of a divorce. It is advised to discuss and draft a prenuptial agreement well in advance of your wedding to ensure both parties have sufficient time to review and negotiate its terms. Consulting a family lawyer to draft a legally binding prenuptial agreement tailored to your specific needs ensures that your financial interests are safeguarded in any unforeseen circumstances.
Spousal Support
The Virginia Code provides for spousal support in several different situations. Spousal support may be awarded to either spouse, typically granted to the wife or husband left destitute by the other party. If your ex is not making spousal support payments, hiring a family law attorney can help ensure a fair resolution.
Annulment
A marriage can be annulled in Virginia under specific circumstances, such as fraud, duress, impotence, bigamy, close blood relation, or if one party is under the legal age to marry without parental consent. Annulment differs from divorce, as it declares the marriage null and void as if it never occurred. To determine if your marriage qualifies for annulment, consult an experienced family lawyer who can evaluate your situation, explain the legal process, and guide you through the annulment proceedings, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the process.
Child Abuse
Family law is a comprehensive practice area that includes marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, paternity, and other matters related to the family structure. It also addresses controversial issues such as abortion rights and same-sex marriage, as well as criminal matters like domestic violence and child abuse.

Criminal Defense
It is highly recommended that you hire a criminal defense attorney, even if you plan to plead guilty. An experienced attorney is familiar with the system and can ensure that you don’t get into a more difficult situation. Representing yourself, even if you are an attorney, is not recommended as it can be difficult to see the full picture when you are too involved in the matter. An attorney with a neutral perspective can identify any benefits or drawbacks in your case and provide the best defense possible.
DUI/DWI
A DWI in Virginia is defined as having a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher. If you are pulled over while driving erratically and the officer detects the smell of alcohol on your breath, you may be issued a ticket for driving while influenced, even if your BAC is below 0.08. Depending on your driving record and any prior DUI history, this ticket may be reduced to a lesser included offense. If your BAC is above 0.12, there is a potential for jail time.
Traffic Violations
Speeding tickets are the most common traffic offenses filed in Virginia, particularly in areas with major freeways. This is due to aggressive measures being taken to curb speed.
Misdemeanors
The majority of traffic violations in Virginia are misdemeanors. The base speeding charge is a misdemeanor, but if you exceed any speed limit by more than 20 mph or you engage in behavior that puts others at risk, it becomes a reckless driving charge, which is a felony.
Assault

Small Business Law

Premises Liability
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Landlord-tenant law includes rights and obligations each landlord and each tenant has with regard to the rental property. Both parties need to know the basics of renting a place, how to collect or pay security deposits, the basics of state and federal laws regarding fair housing, and more.

Personal Injury
Personal injury law is a specialized area that deals with personal injuries. These cases are often called “tort” claims and involve situations where another person or entity has injured someone. The most common type of personal injury claim involves an accident in which one party was negligent and caused harm to another. But a personal injury can happen in several ways, including the following...
Medical Malpractice
1. Personal Injury – If you are ever injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, a Personal Injury Lawyer can make sure that you receive all damages you might be owed. Some examples of personal injury law that we have worked with are vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, assault and battery, and premises liability.
Auto Accidents

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Probate attorneys handling wills, trusts, and estate administration must typically advise their clients on matters such as beneficiary designation, how to form a life estate in property, what will happen to property if your client fails to make an estate plan, and more. Madigan and Scott Inc. helps the client with estate planning techniques and when to consider forming a trust. If the client needs a living will or an advance health care directive, our staff will research and learn the requirements of each state, such as the number of witnesses necessary and who can be designated as a health care surrogate.
