Protecting Your Interests in Northern Virginia Divorce
At MacDowell & Associates, our lawyers offer a range of legal services for people who need advice about the problems they can expect to encounter in a divorce — disputes over property division, alimony, taxes or child custody.
One of the most important services we offer, however, goes beyond the preparation of a divorce petition or motion papers on an asset valuation issue. We help clients define their goals and then design a plan to achieve them.
The results we achieve for our divorce and family law clients reflect several basic principles:
- People achieve the best legal outcomes when they clearly understand their legal rights and responsibilities.
- The best legal strategies are based on an accurate understanding of our client's legal strengths and weaknesses in a given situation.
- A negotiated settlement based on a sound legal strategy is usually the quickest, most certain and least expensive way to resolve a family law problem.
- The best settlements are based on strong advocacy and a readiness to present our client's position in a compelling fashion.
As your divorce counsel, we make sure that you develop a solid understanding of your rights and responsibilities as a spouse, a parent, an investor, a taxpayer or any other role that the dissolution of your marriage will affect. Once you know the legal and practical possibilities that are available for your children, your finances and yourself, you'll be in a good position to plan for your future.
Our attorneys help divorce clients develop a workable strategy for achieving realistic objectives. Whenever possible, we work to expand your options, so that you can consider possibilities that you might have thought were out of reach. In some situations, however, we will help you redefine goals that may be legally unrealistic.

An important strength of the divorce practice at MacDowell & Associates is our experience in the courtroom. Our ability to effectively present your position on any disputed issue in court not only gives you an advantage in divorce litigation, it also improves your bargaining leverage in negotiations. Having a credible litigation alternative can help you get the most out of a property settlement agreement or negotiated visitation schedule.
From property division to child support, most divorce issues can be worked out by agreement. Our law firm adds value for our divorce clients by improving the likelihood that your agreements will fully support your goals for yourself and your family, because you will not be forced into unreasonable concessions.
Although our law firm's divorce practice can provide effective client service in complex or high-conflict situations, we also assist clients in uncontested divorces to quickly obtain a divorce where there are truly no issues in dispute.
