Virginia No-Fault Divorce Law and Uncontested Process

Under Virginia law, a no-fault divorce is available after a separation period. For couples without minor children and a signed property settlement agreement, the required separation is 6 months. With minor children, the separation period is 1 year. The primary statute governing divorce grounds is Va. Code § 20-91. An uncontested divorce means both parties agree on all terms—property division, spousal support, and child-related issues—avoiding a trial. The case is filed in the Caroline County Circuit Court, located at 111 Ennis Street, Bowling Green, VA 22427.

An uncontested divorce in Virginia is defined as a divorce where both spouses agree on all material terms, typically documented in a signed separation agreement. This differs from a contested divorce, where the court must decide disputed issues. The process is governed by Va. Code § 20-91 and the equitable distribution statute, Va. Code § 20-107.3, which Mr. Sris personally amended.
