How long does it take to get a no fault divorce in Virginia?
The length of time it takes to finalize
your Virginia no fault divorce depends primarily upon two factors. First, whether your spouse agrees to waive
service of process of the complaint and final decree of divorce.
Second, the length of time it takes for you to provide us with the
information we need to prepare the necessary documents. Once we have
the necessary information, we can prepare and file your complaint within
two business days. We will then arrange for your spouse to sign the
waiver of service form and file the waiver along with the remaining
documents with the court.
After all the necessary documents have been
filed with the court, the case is out of our hands and there is nothing
left to do but wait for the court to review our filing. While we can
not make any promises as to how long it will take for the court to
process your divorce, the court
will typically take action on the filing within two to three weeks.
What if my spouse doesn't agree to waive service?
If your spouse will not agree to waive
service of process, we must serve him or her with both the complaint and
the proposed final decree. Requiring service of process significantly lengthens the timeline for your divorce.
In that case, it will typically take between two and three months for
your no fault divorce to be finalized.
What if I don't know where my spouse is?
If you do not know the whereabouts of
your spouse and we are unable to locate him or her for the purpose of
service, your Virginia no fault divorce can still proceed with service by publication. Of course, this will further
lengthen the amount of time it will take to finalize your divorce. So,
the timing depends primarily upon your spouse’s cooperation.

Will my name automatically be changed as a result of getting a no fault divorce in Virginia?
If you want to revert to your maiden name after receiving your no fault divorce,
this will not happen automatically in Virginia. You must file for a name change with the Virginia court.
You can either file for a name change along with your no fault divorce and have
both of the cases taken care of at the same time, or you can wait until
after the divorce and file for a name change separately.
