I have practiced in Virginia's appellate courts for over 40 years, and practiced family law almost exclusively since 1983. Since 1991 I have analyzed every significant Virginia family law appeal case for the Virginia State Bar's "Family Law News" quarterly. This blog contains both past and current case notes. I try to comment on the ongoing development of the law, and help other lawyers, journalists and the public understand individual cases. Individual case notes aimed to be accurate when written but are not updated as the law evolves. - Richard Crouch
