Are Virginia Court Cases Still Being Heard During the Coronavirus Closure?

On March 16, 2020, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia Donald W. Lemons declared a judicial emergency, suspending all non-emergency, non-essential court proceedings until April 6, 2020 due to the COVID-19 virus. There are certain court matters considered emergency and essential that will still be heard in court during this time. Those matters include:

·         Arraignments;

·         Bond hearings/appeals;

·         Protective orders;

·         Emergency child custody or protection cases; and

·         Criminal cases with speedy trial issues.

Additionally, while courts are not currently holding hearings related to divorce matters, paperwork can still be filed to preserve your rights. Uncontested divorces are still able to be filed as they generally do not require an appearance in court.

If you have case that falls under one of the above categories your case is not suspended and will be heard even though the courts are closed due to COVID-19.

Unsure of if your case is going forward or what your options are? Reach out to us here at Hadley Law. We are still open and working during this time and are here to help you navigate the process during this time. Contact us at 757-498-1800 to schedule a consultation and let us work for you.
