The most cost-effective way to get a divorce in Virginia is through an uncontested “fast” divorce. Here is what you need to know about this specific type of divorce, and if you qualify for one.
What is a “Fast Divorce” in Virginia?
A “fast divorce” is better known as an uncontested divorce. In this specific type of divorce, the spouses already agree on major issues such as asset division, child custody, child support, and spousal support.
If both spouses are not in agreement on the terms of the divorce, or one or multiple issues AND require the court to intervene, it is a contested divorce. This is what most people think of when they hear the word divorce.
If both spouses agree to divorce but disagree on key issues and want to negotiate a settlement, this is also known as an uncontested divorce. This option is more expensive than the “fast” uncontested divorce, but significantly cheaper than a contested divorce.

Do I qualify for an Uncontested Divorce?
Here’s a quick way to determine if you qualify. Do you and your spouse fully agree on:
- Asset and property division?
- Child custody and visitation?
- Child support?
- Spousal support?
If you said yes to all four, your uncontested divorce can move quickly. Chances are, you probably said “maybe…” or “no”. If you said no to any of those, you can still pursue an uncontested divorce, or if needed, a contested divorce.
