The Prince George County Uncontested Divorce Process
When you hire a flat fee uncontested divorce lawyer in Prince George County, the process follows a defined path at the Circuit Court. The key is having a complete, signed separation agreement that resolves all marital issues. In Prince George County, the court requires at least one corroborating witness to testify to the separation period at the final hearing.
- Draft and Sign a Separation Agreement: Both parties must agree on and sign a full property settlement agreement covering all assets, debts, and support issues.
- File the Complaint for Divorce: Your lawyer files the complaint, the signed agreement, and other required forms with the Prince George County Circuit Court and pays the filing fee.
- Serve the Other Party (Waivable): In an uncontested case, the defendant can sign an Acceptance of Service form, waiving formal service by a sheriff.
- Wait for the Separation Period: The court will not grant the divorce until the full six-month or one-year separation period has passed from the date of separation stated in the complaint.
- Attend the Final Hearing: A brief hearing is held where the plaintiff and a witness testify to the separation. The judge signs the final decree of divorce.

Uncontested Divorce in Prince George County: FAQs
What is an uncontested divorce in Virginia?
Yes. An uncontested divorce is a no-fault divorce where both spouses agree on all terms, including property division, debts, alimony, and child-related issues. They sign a separation agreement, allowing for a simpler, faster legal process compared to a contested case.
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Prince George County?
Typically 2-4 months from filing to final decree, provided the mandatory separation period (6 months or 1 year) has already been completed. The court schedule and completeness of your paperwork are the main variables.
What is the difference between a no-fault and fault divorce?
A no-fault divorce lawyer Prince George County handles cases based on separation alone. A fault divorce alleges grounds like adultery or cruelty, which can affect spousal support and property division but requires proof and often leads to a contested case.
What does a flat fee for an uncontested divorce include?
It typically includes drafting/filing the complaint, preparing the separation agreement, court filings, correspondence, and representation at the final hearing. It does not cover court filing fees (approx. $86) or costs for unexpected complications that make the case contested.
Can I get an uncontested divorce if we have children?
Yes, but the separation period is one year instead of six months. Your signed agreement must also include a detailed parenting plan and child support calculation following Virginia guidelines, which must be approved by the court.
