How It Works

We are a document preparation service for spouses planning for a no-fault, uncontested in-person or online divorce in Virginia.

The biggest advantage of an uncontested and agreed-upon marriage dissolution is that spouses do not necessarily need to hire lawyers, as they have already settled all the matters related to ending their marriage.

While you can save thousands of dollars without involving legal representatives, you will also need to undergo every step of the process independently. Our paperwork preparation service will help you ensure you can do so with comfort. With us, you’ll get a package of required filled-out forms, which you can use to file without a lawyer in person, using our instructions, or online, if it’s possible in your county.

To file for divorce in Virginia online, take these 3 simple steps:


Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Virginia

Filing Requirements

To start a divorce, one spouse must file the paperwork in the circuit court in the county where at least one of them resides, or they both last lived together, or file the documents electronically, if possible. A petitioner should then serve a respondent, file the remaining paperwork, and wait for the final order.

Residency Requirements

As stipulated in Virginia statutes, to be eligible to initiate a divorce case, either spouse must be an actual bona fide state resident at the moment of filing the Complaint and must have maintained this status for at least 6 months prior to starting an action.

Waiting Period

There is no waiting period from filing the case till the court can issue the final order. Still, there are separation requirements. To start an uncontested, no-fault divorce, spouses must live separately for at least 1 year. If they have no minor children, the period will be reduced to 6 months.

Complete Your Divorce Papers Online

For our system to choose and fill out Virginia divorce papers for your uncontested, no-fault case, you should complete a detailed questionnaire on our platform.

Overall, divorcing parents have quite a few things to consider when filing for marriage dissolution:

  • Virginia laws provide for legal and physical custody, which can be joint (shared) or sole, depending on each family’s specific circumstances.
  • While deciding on custody, a judge considers children’s best interests, needs, age, physical and mental conditions, relationships with each parent, any history of abuse or neglect, etc.
  • The court also considers the child’s preferences if a child is deemed mature enough.
  • Child support is determined by taking into consideration both parents’ incomes, the number of children, the amount of time each parent spends with the child, and multiple other factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, online divorce through court-approved e-filing website is legal in Virginia, but it’s not available in all counties yet. As we will provide you with filled-out forms in a PDF format, you will be able to e-file them, if this option is available, or file in person based on the guide we deliver.

Without a lawyer, your total expenses for an uncontested divorce in Virginia may be about $250-$300, including filing fees, other court fees, and online paperwork preparation costs. If you choose to hire a lawyer, be ready to pay from a few thousand dollars to $10,000 or more for their services.

On average, uncontested divorce in Virginia takes about 3 months. However, if you do not meet mandatory separation requirements, you would need to wait for the required time to expire before you can get your divorce finalized. Contested cases will likely take much longer and may span years due to disputes and litigations.

If you have resolved all the disputes with your spouse and do not need any legal consultations, you may choose not to hire a lawyer. E-filing may not, however, be available to those filing pro se in certain counties. If your case is contested or legal advice is required, it is best to get online divorce help from an attorney.
