Simplifying Divorce and Other Family Law Issues
Going through a divorce can be emotionally and financially draining, even if you and your spouse agree on most issues. When children are involved, the issues are even more complicated. You need an experienced professional to navigate you through this difficult time.
I am attorney Lisa Lane McDevitt. I have extensive experience in family law cases ranging from complex custody cases to divorces with millions at stake. — I serve clients throughout Virginia and the Washington, D.C., metro area.
I handle all types of family law issues, including:
- Divorce
- Mediation
- Military divorce
- Child custody
- Child support
- Prenuptial agreements
- Division of assets
- Separation agreements (also known as marital separation agreements)
- Spousal support
- Modification of support or custody
- Post-Divorce enforcement
My practice is, and has been for over 10 years, exclusively dedicated to family law. What does that mean to you? That means I'm not a jack of all trades, master of none. My attention is not subdivided between divorces, bankruptcy and criminal law, for instance. I am solely focused on the case law and legislation of family law issues involving divorce, child custody, child support, separation agreements, spousal support, child support and the like.

Staying Out of Court
When children are involved in a divorce, you may worry about the effects lengthy proceedings will have on them. My priority is to minimize the impact of the divorce on you and your family. I will help expedite the process so you can return to normalcy.
Whatever your family law issues may be, I focus on keeping you out of court to give you, not a judge, control over the outcome of your case. Allow my experience to counsel you when you should go to court and when you should not. In most cases, you should try to reach an out of court settlement. That is because when you hand your finances, your children, and your property over to the stranger wearing a black robe, I promise you neither one of you will be happy and you will have spent thousands of dollars in the process.
An out of court settlement and/or uncontested divorce is not only significantly less expensive and less adversarial but extremely fast in comparison and will allow you to retain more privacy and spare your family emotional detriment. I can also help prepare you for mediation.
Honesty and openness are hallmarks of my firm. When you work with me you will always know what to expect. I will educate you about the process, your options and your chances of success. You can rely on me to be accessible when you have questions or concerns.
As an experienced resource for clients, I provide high value at low cost. You will never be surprised by hidden costs, and I offer flat fees for uncontested divorce.
