Frequently Asked Questions
An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all terms (division of assets, custody, support). A contested divorce occurs when there are unresolved disagreements, requiring a family court judge to decide the terms.
Virginia is an "equitable distribution" state. Marital property is not automatically divided 50/50; instead, the court divides property based on fairness after reviewing marriage duration, contributions, and future earning capacities.
