Do I Need a Reason to Get a Divorce?

Question: Do I need a reason to get a divorce?

Answer: No. The only legal reason you need for a divorce in Virginia is that you conclude that the marriage has broken down. Virginia law accepts that there has been a breakdown of your marriage if you can prove that you and your spouse have been separated for at least one (1) year if you have children, or six (6) months if you have a Separation & Property Settlement Agreement, and no children.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service I received from Virginia Family Law. From the moment I reached out to them last year regarding my legal matter, I felt supported, informed, and confident in their ability to handle my case with professionalism and care.
