If the Primary Custodial Parent after having been deemed the fit parent was under the pretext of Abused along with the child(ren) then if that were the last known educational setting - such setting may be subjective to continued control and mental abuse by the Non-Custodial Parent - Custody in Virginia and Child(ren) are still treated as/under Property Rights - this is still Government assertion of Interference of Parenting - Though a J&D Court's Jurisdiction is Procedural thus this esceeds Procedural Discretion by Law and does not create a New Procedure to add to nor create by Rebuttable Presumption such Jurisdiction for the Court
