Legal Answers
5 Questions Answered
Q. If I have Primary custody of my daughter but share legal custody with every other weekend visitation with her mother
A: It will depend on if there are any restrictions in the custody order. There does not appear to be any legal restrictions that would prevent this. Virginia Code § 22.1-4.3 provides that unless a court order specifies otherwise, non-custodial parents shall not be denied the opportunity to participate in any of the school’s activities and explicitly includes lunch breaks as being one such activity.
Q. How do I amend my birthdate on my marriage certificate
A: Virginia code § 20-16.1 authorizes the clerk or deputy clerk of a circuit court of any county or city to amend the record. The process will vary by county, for example Loudon county allows you to schedule an appointment with the clerk, whereas Fairfax county requires you to attend a court hearing before the license may be corrected.
Q. Is gun prohibition in a New Jersey restraining order (civil case only) enforced in West Virginia? I'm moving there soon.
A: This question has been posted in Virginia. West Virginia and Virginia have slightly different laws. Please repost in W. Virginia to get accurate responses.
