Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- The court must consider
the factors in Va. Code Ann. § 20-124.3 in deciding what custody
arrangement is in the child's best interests, including: The age and
physical and mental condition of the child, giving due consideration to
the child's changing developmental needs; The age and physical and mental
condition of each parent; The relationship existing between each parent
and each child, giving due consideration to the positive involvement with
the child's life, the ability to accurately assess and meet the emotional,
intellectual and physical needs of the child; The needs of the child,
giving due consideration to other important relationships of the child,
including but not limited to siblings, peers and extended family members;
The role which each parent has played and will play in the future, in the
upbringing and care of the child.
- In child support cases,
Va. Code Ann. § 20-108.1 provides a rebuttable presumption that the amount
of child support indicated by the guidelines contained in Va. Code Ann. §
20-108.2 is the correct support amount. A court must consider the factors
in Va. Code Ann. § 20-108.1(B) in deciding whether to deviate from the
presumptive amount. These factors include imputed income to a party who is
voluntarily unemployed or under employed. Any child support award must be
based on circumstances existing at the time the award is made.
