[VA] What can I do if the mother of my child made up lies about me prior to our custody trial hearing?

I have an upcoming child custody hearing. I live in Huntington, West Virginia. The court case is in Stephens City, Virginia. The mother has made up a lot of lies that caused my custody to be temporarily suspended. I’ve done a lot of community service work for over a decade, and this has caused extreme stress on our children, our relationship, and our ministry. She venue-shopped until she got a favorable outcome, mainly due to my inability to present proof properly in court. But I do have everything well documented. I just need someone to walk me through this process. I’m unfamiliar with it, and it’s even more difficult because I live so far away. I have evidence and witnesses willing to travel with me.

[VA] How should I proceed with repaying my employer for a sign-on bonus loan that I owe for being two months short of the required 18 months?

A former Virginia-based employer is asking for repayment of a sign-on bonus “loan” for remaining employed for 16 of the 18 months required for the loan. I am seeking assistance in reviewing the sign-on bonus contract and for representation to propose a prorated repayment amount and potentially set a repayment schedule. I am also open to counsel on the best option to handle this situation.

[VA] How do I go about terminating a lease for a noncompliant tenant?

Yes hello I am a landlord in Virginia. I have a tenant who is only renting my basement bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette. However, he has taken over the entire basement. Keeps bringing in more and more stuff. I confronted him about it in April but no improvement. I spoke to him again last week and he got rather upset and angry. And Sunday I gave him the 30-day notice to vacate, which made him even more upset.

[VA] In which state do I file a small estate affidavit?

My husband passed in 2023. I am trying to access his Acorns account. I don’t even know if there are funds in it. They said the following: “To proceed with providing any account specific information from his account, we will need Certified Estate Documents or certified documents indicating the funds are bypassing probate (typically called an Affidavit of Small Estate or an Affidavit for Collection of Personal Property). If you are unfamiliar with these documents, you will need to consult with your state’s probate department. We are unable to provide any account information about the decedent’s account without one of these sets of documents.” I just created the affidavit. I live in VA now, but my husband passed in TN. Do I submit this to AZ?

[VA] My husband is saying he will not do a divorce settlement until after custody is decided. What should I do?

My husband is saying he will not do a divorce settlement until after custody is decided. The court date for the custody trial is June 6, but he or I can file for divorce after May 11, 2025. I told him those are two separate things. Should I go ahead and present him and his lawyer with a proposal for divorce that does not include custody, or am I forced to wait? There was infidelity and alcohol misuse on his part, but proving that wouldn’t be worth the time and energy unless he decides to lowball me. What is your opinion on the back and forth here?
