In Virginia, most cases dealing with children and families are heard in Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts, of which there is one in each county. Divorce cases are heard in Circuit Courts. Cases heard in Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts include child custody, visitation, support, paternity, child abuse and neglect, adoption, termination of parental rights, emancipation, protection orders, and juvenile delinquency and mental health.

Details about Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts are at the first related link below. More information about the court system, contact information, and links to court websites for all VA trial courts may be found at the second related link below.
