About TroofLaw

TroofLaw is an independent informational website about family law and related topics, with a focus on issues commonly researched by people in Virginia. It is not a law firm, and no one associated with this site is acting as your attorney.

The pages and articles here are intended to explain general concepts—such as divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, adoption, protective orders, and military-related family-law questions—in plain language. Where relevant, pages point to the underlying Code of Virginia sections (for example, the divorce grounds in § 20-91 or the best-interest factors in § 20-124.3) and note whether a matter is typically heard in circuit court or in juvenile and domestic relations district court. Laws vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Nothing on this site is a complete statement of the law.

This site does not offer legal advice, case evaluation, representation, or attorney referrals. If you need advice about your situation, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
