Jurisdiction and venue
Manassas is an independent city under Virginia law, geographically surrounded by Prince William County but not part of it for purposes of local government. Its courts, however, are shared. The 31st Judicial Circuit and the 31st Judicial District serve Prince William County, the City of Manassas, and the City of Manassas Park from the Prince William County Judicial Center at 9311 Lee Avenue, Manassas, Virginia 20110.
31st Judicial Circuit
The trial court of general jurisdiction. It hears felony prosecutions, divorce and equitable distribution, civil actions, and appeals de novo from the district courts. Jury trials are held here and nowhere below it.
31st Judicial District
Traffic infractions and misdemeanors, including reckless driving and driving under the influence; misdemeanor criminal trials; preliminary hearings in felony cases; and civil claims. Under Va. Code § 16.1-77, the general district courts hold exclusive original jurisdiction of civil claims of $4,500 or less and jurisdiction concurrent with the circuit courts of claims above $4,500 and up to $50,000 — the $50,000 figure reflecting the amendment effective July 1, 2025.
31st Judicial District
Custody, visitation, and support; family abuse protective orders; delinquency and status offenses; and matters involving children.
Federal
Federal criminal and civil matters arising in Prince William County and the City of Manassas are filed here.
Knowing which of these courts holds a matter determines the deadlines, the rules of evidence that apply, and whether there is a right to a jury. That is a question of jurisdiction and venue, not of familiarity with any judge or prosecutor.
Nine practice areas
Each matter is assigned to counsel admitted in the relevant bar and experienced in that matter type.
Contested and uncontested divorce, equitable distribution under Va. Code § 20-107.3, custody and visitation, child and spousal support, separation agreements, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Va. Code § 20-97 requires six months of Virginia residency and domicile before filing.
