How to Get Divorced in Virginia

- There are 4 key steps to get divorced in Virginia if you use a mediator:
1. INTAKE PHONE CALLS with both spouses (individually). In these calls we discuss:
- Goals
- Fears
- Applicable Laws
- Custody Arrangements
- Financial and Tax problems
- Child Support
- Spousal Support (Alimony)
- Various settlement options
2. MEET WITH MEDIATOR. In mediation we will settle all matters of custody, child support, spousal support (alimony), and the division of assets and debt. We do this through a fair process of assisted negotiation, the generation of settlement options, and a focus on the present and future (not the past).
3. DRAFTING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. The mediator writes up the court-ready Settlement Agreement. After the document goes through the editing process, the spouses sign it with a notary. All of the terms of your Settlement Agreement are a contract which is enforceable in a court of law.
4. FILE DIVORCE PAPERS IN COURT. Finally, you will need to hire an attorney (most clients use my referral list) to prepare and file the divorce paperwork (other than the Settlement Agreement, which is complete at this time). Once the judge signs your Final Order of Divorce (a.k.a. divorce decree), the process is complete.
In Virginia, you are eligible to file for divorce when you have been living separate and apart for 12 month (with kids) or 6 months (without kids).

Uncontested divorce in virginia. My question is he wont sign rhe papers can i still get the divorce?
My legal spouse and I dwell in the same house, but have slept in separate rooms and have separate bathrooms and only use common areas of living room and kitchen. I am on disability. Does the 6-12 month separation apply in Virginia when there has been no intimacy in over a decade and taxes have been filed separately for years? Over 25 years of marriage and no minor children involved
Hey, really appreciate your work. You mentioned you don't take DV cases as a mediator but the courts dont take my DV situation into consideration. They didn't care for any proof of DV so I can divorce him. Spouse also wont leave the home. What does someone do at that point?
