Divorce and Family Lay

Virginia Divorce Attorneys
Property Settlements • Custody Disputes

It is the philosophy of the law firm of Gulick, Carson & Thorpe, P.C. to resolve as many divorce and child custody cases as possible through negotiated agreements out of court. Litigation is rarely in the best interests of the parties, and is not a cost-effective solution to marital or parental conflicts.

Unfortunately, litigation is sometimes unavoidable and necessary. When discussions are at an impasse, the firm will litigate aggressively to assert clients’ rights and protect their interests.

Gulick, Carson & Thorpe, P.C. provides experienced representation in divorce and family law to clients in Warrenton, Virginia and the surrounding counties: Fauquier County, Culpeper County, Rappahannock County, Stafford County, Warren County, Prince William County and Loudoun County. The general practice firm offers a variety of legal services, including criminal defense, real estate, estate planning and civil litigation.

Divorce and Assets
The Virginia divorce attorneys of Gulick, Carson & Thorpe handle both contested and uncontested divorces. The majority of the firm’s cases are successfully negotiated without litigating.

In divorce cases with complex, significant assets, the firm offers specific knowledge in determining and negotiating an equitable distribution of the couple’s estate, including:

  • Valuation of closely held businesses, real estate, stocks and retirement funds
  • Tracing the growth in value of assets brought to the marriage (businesses, professional licenses, investments)
  • Negotiation of spousal support and alimony

Gulick, Carson & Thorpe also assists couples who are marrying, especially if it is a second marriage, in drafting prenuptial agreements to define marital property and separately held property.

Custody and Children
The best interests of the child is considered when negotiating or litigating custody disputes. Keeping the focus on the children leads to quicker results, and makes any agreement more palatable to the family court judge.

The firm does handle modifications of custody agreements, child support, alimony, or visitation arrangements, such as when a parent wishes to relocate with the children or when financial circumstances change. Their lawyers have also handled “imputation of income” cases in which one parent is suspected of hiding income or intentionally earning below potential to avoid paying child support.
