Requirements for an Uncontested Richmond Divorce
An uncontested divorce is for people who agree to the main terms of their divorce. They simply want to wrap up the legal elements of the process so they can move forward with their lives. Here are the requirements set by the state of Virginia:
Disputes Resolved
The couple must have resolved any arguments about asset distribution, child custody arrangements, spousal maintenance, or other significant issues relating to the relationship. This is meant to be an amicable process in which both parties are ready to end the marriage and are willing to sign the documents to finalize the divorce.
Residency
One spouse must have lived in Virginia for the last six months.
Separation
The couple must have been separated for at least six months, or for one year if they have minor children. The law allows for the couple to fulfill this requirement while still living under the same roof. Our legal team can help you understand what steps to take to satisfy the law in this regard.
Please contact us if you have additional questions about an uncontested Richmond divorce. We have extensive experience guiding clients through the divorce process, and we are more than happy to answer your questions.
Uncontested Richmond Divorce Options
Our options for divorce are finalized with no court appearance. Instead of appearing in court, you sign an affidavit confirming the basic facts of the case. No office visit is necessary either. We offer a two-week and five-week option, and the only difference between them is the length of time and the cost. You can expect to spend a bit more for the expedited two-week divorce over the five-week divorce.
Both plans include a simple separation agreement drawn up by our legal team. Our focus on uncontested divorce and our experience enable us to complete the process so quickly.
