Are you contemplating a divorce or separatation in the State of Virginia? 

      Have you been petitioned to the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court for a hearing for determination of spousal support or child support?

The law relating to family disputes and obligations has changed dramatically since the 1970s, as legislators and judges have reexamined and redefined legal relationships surrounding Divorce, Child Custody, and Child Support.

Family law has become part of the national debates over the structure of the family, gender bias, and morality.

Although many changes by state and federal legislators have been made, family law remains a contentious area of U.S. law causing strong emotions in those who have had to enter the divorce and family legal process.

At the Law Office of Glenn Wainer we provide personalized representation based on our clients’ needs. We understand that every family is unique with different concerns and problems.

Whether or not you have a prenuptial agreement,  every divorce, whether uncontested or contested, can be disruptive to one’s life and family.  The decision to seek the termination of a marriage should not be taken lightly because a divorce will affect your personal life, both financially and emotionally, and most likely will have a long-lasting effect.

Were you driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and were you charged and arrested with a DWI or a DUI in the state of Virginia?

In Virginia it is unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs while having a blood alcohol level of 0.08.

If you received a summons for violation of Virginia Code Section 18.2-266, it may be wise to consult with a lawyer to understand your rights and defenses and also to understand the charges and how a conviction would affect your life.

• Reckless Driving Tickets
• Speeding Tickets
• Traffic Tickets

If you drive anywhere in Virginia 20 miles over the posted speed limit, that would constitute reckless driving in violation of Virginia Code Section 46.2-852.

There are different types of reckless driving which may not involve speed but depend on the conditions of the traffic at the time the violation occurs.

Virginia Code Section 46.2-852 states “Irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving.”
