Virginia Divorce and Family Law Attorney

My husband and I are going through a divorce. In return for my giving up my half interest in our stocks -- currently valued at $100,000 -- he proposes carrying a term life insurance policy until he reaches age 65 with me as the beneficiary under which I will receive $500,000 if he dies before age 65. I think its worth the gamble because he's an idiot and will do something stupid to die young, but is it legal?. I don't want to do this if the court will not enforce it.

My child support payments are set by a court order. It was effective almost two years ago. However, due to the slowdown in the economy, my hours at work have been cut back and the reduction in my income has madeit difficult for me to pay child support and my other expenses. My ex-wife knows about this but insists that I continue to pay the court-ordered amount of child support or she will have me held in contempt. Is there anything I can do?

I was test-driving a BMW in Richmond. Soon after leaving the dealer's lot another driver ran a stop sign and T-bonedthe BMW. I was hurt pretty bad. My hospital bills are already over $100,000, and I will likely miss 6 months of work. My lawyer said the other driver had minimum liabilty limits of $25,000 on his insurance policy, but that won't be enough to even cover my medical costs. Am I stuck?

My teenage daughter was injured in an auto accident recently and was not at fault. The accident occurred in Richmond on I-95/I-64. The other car was driven by the owner's nephew, and because the nephew lived with the owner and was not listed as a potential driver of the car when the application for insurance was made, the insurance company is denying coverage. Can the insurance company do thiseven whenthe owner of the other car paid the insurancepremiums on time?
