Lawyers.com offers general information and not legal advice. You are requesting legal advice, which cannot be provided in this forum. When it comes to custody cases, courts make a decision based upon the best interest of the child, as set forth in Virginia Code Section 20-124.3. Although you may desire sole custody, it is up to the court to decide if sole custody is in the child's best interest.
Finally, it is recommended that you confer with an experienced family lawyer in your area to discuss this matter in greater details. Most lawyers charge by the hour, so it is important that you discuss the consultation fee in advance of scheduling a meeting to avoid any confusion. Best of luck~
