Who Qualifies for an Uncontested Divorce in Virginia
An uncontested divorce is available when both spouses agree on all major issues involved in ending the marriage. These typically include:
- Division of marital property and debts
- Spousal support, if any
- Child custody and visitation arrangements
- Child support
In many cases, these terms are set out in a written separation or property settlement agreement that is submitted to the court. Virginia law also requires spouses to live separately for a certain period before a no-fault divorce may be finalized.
Couples who have no minor children and a signed separation agreement may qualify after six months of separation, while couples with minor children generally must wait one year.
Even when both parties agree on the terms of their divorce, the legal process still involves strict filing requirements, detailed documentation, and court approval.
