Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce take in Fauquier County, Virginia?
An uncontested divorce with a signed separation agreement typically takes 2-4 months from filing to final decree in Fauquier County Circuit Court. Virginia requires a 6-month separation (no minor children with a signed agreement) or a 1-year separation (with minor children) before filing for a no-fault divorce.
How much does a divorce cost in Fauquier County, Virginia?
Costs vary. The Circuit Court filing fee is approximately $86. Additional costs may include service of process ($12-$100) and, if needed, a Guardian ad Litem for custody matters ($500-$2,500+). A flat fee uncontested divorce lawyer can provide predictable legal costs for an agreed-upon case.
Is Virginia a community property state?
No. Virginia is an equitable distribution state. Marital property is divided fairly by the court based on 11 factors under Va. Code § 20-107.3, not necessarily 50/50. Separate property, like pre-marriage assets or inheritances, is excluded from division.
What are the grounds for divorce in Virginia?
No-fault grounds require a 6-month separation (no minor children + signed agreement) or a 1-year separation. Fault grounds include adultery (no waiting period), cruelty, desertion (1 year), or felony conviction (1+ year imprisonment). A simple divorce filing lawyer in Fauquier County can advise on the best approach for your situation.
Can I get a divorce if my spouse agrees to everything?
Yes. This is an uncontested divorce. If you have a signed property settlement agreement covering all issues, a no-fault divorce lawyer in Fauquier County can file the necessary paperwork with the Circuit Court for a relatively swift resolution without a trial.
