Virginia Uncontested Divorce Law
An uncontested divorce in Virginia occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues, including property division, spousal support, and if applicable, child custody and support. The process is governed by Virginia Code § 20-91, which outlines the grounds for divorce, including no-fault separation. For a no-fault divorce with a signed property settlement agreement and no minor children, a six-month separation period is required. When minor children are involved, the separation period extends to one year. A flat fee uncontested divorce lawyer in Louisa County can manage this entire process for a single, predetermined cost, providing financial certainty.
