What Are The Grounds For Divorce in Virginia?  

The grounds for divorce in Virginia are enumerated in Virginia Code Section § 20-91.

• Infidelity (Adultery)
• Conviction of a felony and confinement in jail for more than a year.
• Cruelty (physical or mental abuse)
• Desertion or constructive desertion
• Separation

If you are struggling with a family law dispute, our dedicated Virginia divorce lawyers will help you understand your options. In certain select family cases, mediation or settlement might be the best solution to resolve simple divorce matters.

When settlement is not a possibility our aggressive but caring Virginia divorce lawyers are well-prepared to litigate your divorce in the Virginia Circuit courts.

When Should You Enter Into A Property Settlement Agreement (PSA) or a Separation Agreement?

When a couple is separating, they may or may not enter into a property settlement agreement (PSA).

The purpose of the property settlement agreement is to resolve the couple’s financial, custody, and visitation issues out of court rather than with a trial. 

As an additional benefit, couples without children who enter into a PSA may divorce after six months of separation rather than the standard twelve months.

Married couples often own multiple properties in common. Marital property may include real estate properties, financial assets, and personal effects.

Examples of personal properties are cars, furniture, jewelry, investments, retirements, and business interests.

Both property and debts acquired during the marriage, including those stemming from tax returns, maybe divided through a property settlement agreement.

Talk to our Virginia divorce lawyer to decide if entering into a property settlement agreement is appropriate to your divorce case or not.
