Dan Gray and Heather Cooper spoke at the Fairfax Bar Association’s Family Law Section Meeting

On Monday, January 11, 2016, Dan Gray and Heather Cooper spoke at the Fairfax Bar Association’s Family Law Section Meeting.  Dan talked about his participation with the Virginia Bar Association’s Family Law Coalition, on which he serves as the representative of the VBA’s Board of Governors.  Heather spoke about her experience on the Child Support Guidelines Review Panel, and the process that ultimately led to revisions to the guidelines that took effect in July of 2014.  Other speakers were Al Bonin of ShounBach (who provided an informative and persuasive presentation in support of his proposal to replace the term “visitation” with “parenting time” in family law statutes), and Laurie Forbes, who presented an overview of the new legislation relevant to family law that has been introduced this session.
