Re: Parental custody of minor child

She needs to consult with an attorney in Virginia. If they have lived there for any considerable length of time, VA will have jurisdiction over the custody issues.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
