Virginia is an equitable distribution state, not a community property state. Under Va. Code § 20-107.3, the court divides marital property fairly based on 11 statutory factors. Marital property includes assets acquired during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the title. Separate property — assets owned before marriage, inheritances, or gifts to one spouse — is excluded from division. Mr. Sris personally amended this statute, giving the firm unique insight into its application in Rockingham County Circuit Court.
Complex property division in Rockingham County involves high-value assets such as business interests, stock options, retirement accounts, and real estate portfolios. Under Va. Code § 20-107.3, the court considers the tax consequences, the duration of the marriage, and each spouse’s contributions — both financial and non-financial — when dividing these assets. Forensic accountants and business valuators are often necessary to determine the true value of complex marital estates.
