                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SERVICE ON ATTORNEY AFTER ENTRY OF GENERAL APPEARANCE BY SUCH ATTORNEY (§
8.01-314)

When an attorney authorized to practice law in this Commonwealth has entered a
general appearance for any party, any process, order or other legal papers to be
used in the proceeding may be served on such attorney of record. Such service
shall have the same effect as if service had been made upon such party
personally; provided, however, that in any proceeding in which a final decree or
order has been entered, service on an attorney as provided herein shall not be
sufficient to constitute personal jurisdiction over a party in any proceeding
citing that party for contempt, either civil or criminal, unless personal
service is also made on the party.
		Provided, further, that if such attorney objects by motion within five days
after such legal paper has been so served upon him, the court shall enter an
order in the proceeding directing the manner of service of such legal paper.
