Northern Virginia Divorce and Custody Attorney

Helping You and Your Family Through Difficult Times

No one can be prepared for divorce, but in certain cases, it is better for two people to move on with their lives. There are many factors to consider when getting a divorce and any decision you make can impact you and your family's relationship in many ways. In order to make the right decisions, having a strong legal foundation has never been more important. We want to protect your interests, as well as the relationship you have with your family.

Our lawyer, Michael J. Sgarlat, has a personal understanding of what issues local communities and families throughout Northern Virginia are facing. Based in Alexandria, our office has dedicated 25 years of service to protecting the rights of people like you with strong determination and compassion. We understand that divorce is a complicated process, but with our representation, we can help you understand what options can lead to positive outcomes.

Child Custody: Knowing the Best Interest of the Child

Issues regarding child custody, support and visitation are serious issues that complicate the divorce process. Our firm takes the time to understand what is in the best interest of your child. If problems arise and both parties cannot reach a settlement, we use the services of a guardian ad litem to get to the bottom of the problem. Depending on what living situation and parenting time each party can provide, we can establish a parenting plan that benefits the entire family.
