Filing for Divorce in Virginia

In Virginia, those who must file for divorce must first meet the state’s residency requirements. You or your spouse must have lived in Virginia for at least six months before filing for divorce. You do not have to get divorced in the state where you and your spouse got married.

Additionally, Virginia offers both fault-based and no-fault divorce. If you file for a no-fault divorce, you and your spouse must live apart from one another for at least six months. If you have minor children, you must live apart for at least a year, without any periods of interruption.

What are the Grounds for Divorce in Virginia?

Below are some of the grounds for divorce in Virginia:

  • Adultery
  • Reasonable fear of bodily harm
  • Felony conviction with a period of imprisonment
  • Willful abandonment or desertion

Fault-Based Divorce vs No-Fault: Which is More Complicated?

Generally, pursuing a fault-based divorce is more complicated and time-consuming than a no-fault divorce since you will have to provide ample evidence of the fault ground for your case. Our team can assist you, regardless of the complexities involved in your case.

Our Satisfied Clients

  • “He told me exactly what I needed to do in order to receive the best possible outcome on my court date”

    Mr. Freeman helped me out with a speeding ticket. Although this was a less serious crime compared to other cases he receives, he still treated my case as if it was just as important. He told me exactly what I needed to do in order to receive the best possible outcome on my court date. He has a very welcoming personality and he is loved by everyone who meets him. You can see this is true with every encounter he has with members of the court, policeman, clients, etc. Because of this, I felt that I already had an advantage with the judge, which was calming in a rather stressful situation. Because of everything Mr. Freeman told me to do & his prestigious reputation, my ticket got dismissed!

  • “Mr. Freeman made me feel much more relaxed about the charge and helped me a lot!”
    I was charged with littering, which, to my surprise, is a misdemeanor. I was very anxious over this, and really nervous, but Mr. Freeman made me feel much more relaxed about the charge and helped me a lot! From moving my court date and guiding me through the process, to the final court date, he was attentive and reassuring. Then, the day of court, I was literally in the court room for all of one minute while he got the charges dropped. I will definitely be using him in the future should I ever need more legal help, and I definitely would recommend him to anyone! Bonus: He's also got a great sense of humor!

  • “What a great experience for a not so great step in my life.”
    Divorces are not fun but Paul made my journey very easy and organized.  He was very helpful and provided me meaningful suggestions to ease me through the process.  His paralegal was great in communicating with me and responding to my emails promptly whenever I had questions.  I could not have asked for a better team.  What a great experience for a not so great step in my life.
