An Outline Of Virginia Divorce Laws
In Virginia, you can file a divorce as either a no-fault or at-fault divorce. Below is some further explanation of the divorce law.
No-Fault Divorce
After you have lived apart from your spouse without any interruption for at least one year
If you and your spouse do not have children who are minors, after you have been separated without interruption for a period of six months, and have executed a Property Settlement Agreement.
Fault Grounds For Divorce
- Adultery, sodomy, or buggery
- Conviction of a felony or incarceration
- Legal separation due to the following:
- Willful desertion or abandonment
- Cruelty and reasonable apprehension of bodily harm
Annulments
Unlike a divorce, which dissolves a legal marriage, an annulment renders the entire marriage void. This essentially treats it like it never happened (though you still may need to go through the same division of property proceedings).
Additional Elements
Our Virginia divorce lawyers will also work to make sure you get what is fair in terms of the following:
- Property division
- Modifications
- Alimony (referred to as “spousal support” in Virginia)

What Our Clients Say About Us
Our lawyers will represent you in family, business formation, criminal, personal injury, & estate planning matters.
I Didn’t Feel Like A Client, I Was Family
I don’t normally post things and typically stay to myself, but I felt convicted as someone out there may be going through the same thing that I have- fighting for custody/ visitation of your child and can use some direction. There’s a lot of great attorneys/ firms out there and I have spent the money hiring and/ interviewing, but I needed a meticulous, fierce and dynamic one just to have a fighting chance. From the moment I met Attorney Rebecca Thacher, I knew she was the attorney for me. I didn’t feel like a client, I was family.
What’s crazy about this….. My case was on a Monday morning, but because I retained her as my lawyer so late, I didn’t give her my information until almost after 4:00 on that Friday. She understood my plea for help and was absolutely fierce in the courtroom citing all my concerns and raised crucial points. I came out victorious. I’m a father and I know what it’s like for a child to be used as a weapon, with Attorney Rebecca Thacher you are not in this alone so please ask for help and retain her.
I Always Felt That She Had My Best Interests At Heart
Angela Morehouse at the Irving Law Firm represented me in my divorce and for the guardianship/conservatorship of my mother. Her nd her paralegal are not only professional but thorough in their representation. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and could count on her and the firm during my most difficult times. I would highly recommend Angela and the firm and wouldn’t hesitate to retain them in the future if the need arises.
She Took Care Of Everything That Was Right & Needed To Be Done & I’m Glad I Went To Her
