Abstract
Another year of family law activity in Virginia brought both new
legislation, which will likely have long-term impacts, as well as a
new set of judicial opinions that will bring changes to the Virginia
rules. The terrain covered in the legislation and opinions varies,
but it includes certain fixtures such as marriage and divorce requirements,
equitable distribution, spousal and child support, and
child custody. This brief overview addresses all these areas, beginning
with the legislative changes and then moving to the courts.
