Virginia Uncontested Divorce Law
Virginia law provides for no-fault divorce based on living separate and apart without cohabitation. For an uncontested divorce, you must meet the separation period: six months if you have no minor children and a signed separation agreement, or one year if you have minor children. The court will grant the divorce if these conditions are met and all procedural requirements are satisfied. The process is designed to be clear when both parties agree on all terms.
