Understanding Virginia's No-Fault Divorce Laws

Yes, the state of Virginia is considered a no-fault state. A spouse in Virginia who wants to divorce their partner can do so. This type of divorce is referred to as a "no-fault" divorce since neither party has to present proof of wrongdoing. The couple must have been apart for at least six months in order to qualify for a no-fault divorce.

Virginia divorce law is a complex area when it comes to grounds for divorce, waiting periods, family support, and many other issues. Proceeding without qualified legal counsel can lead to mistakes and regrets. Acting only on the advice of family members or friends is a serious risk.
