Understanding Uncontested Divorce Under Virginia Law
Virginia law allows a no-fault divorce after a separation period. For couples without minor children and a signed property settlement agreement, the required separation is six months. For couples with minor children, the separation period is one year. The court must find the marriage is irretrievably broken. The primary statute governing divorce grounds is Va. Code § 20-91. The equitable distribution of marital property is governed by Va. Code § 20-107.3, a statute personally amended by Mr. Sris. A simple divorce filing lawyer Madison County can guide you through this process efficiently.
