“How long does it take to get a divorce in Virginia?” It depends on the facts and circumstances of each case, if you file for a divorce based on no-fault grounds, you can get a divorce within two to three months, as long as you have been separated for a period of at least six months and it came to a written settlement agreement and you do not have any children born of this marriage, or you must wait for at least a 12-month period. An uncontested divorce proceeds more quickly, while the time needed for an uncontested divorce depends on several factors. In a fault-based contested divorce, you must establish any of the grounds such as adultery, cruelty, willful desertion, and abandonment. It will take more than a year to get a fault divorce.
To finalize a divorce in Virginia, the time needed depends on whether you choose to get divorced through the contested process or the uncontested process. If the parties do not disagree on important issues such as child support and property division, the divorce process can be completed in two to three months. However, if the parties disagree on important issues, the process can take up to 18 months. If the divorce involves complex issues that both parties are aggressively discussing, the divorce may take time to finalize. Consulting with an attorney can help you decide how to proceed.
