What to Expect in a New Kent County Uncontested Divorce
Virginia is a no‑fault divorce state. You can divorce after six months of separation if you have no minor children and a signed separation agreement (Va. Code § 20‑91(9)(b)). If you have minor children or no agreement, a one‑year separation period applies. Uncontested divorces following a signed agreement often resolve within approximately two to four months from filing to final decree.
Filing takes place in the New Kent County Circuit Court (12001 Courthouse Circle, New Kent, VA 23124). After the complaint is filed, the court schedules a short final hearing where one spouse appears to provide testimony confirming the separation details and agreement. A corroborating witness is typically required. The judge then enters the final divorce decree. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel handle all of these steps, from drafting the complaint through advocating at the final hearing.

Separate property (owned before marriage or received as a gift or inheritance) is not divided. An experienced attorney can help you draft a separation agreement that spells out a division you both accept.
What are the grounds for an uncontested divorce in Virginia?
No‑fault separation is the primary ground—six months with a signed settlement agreement and no minor children, or one year otherwise. Fault grounds such as adultery or cruelty require contested litigation and are not part of an uncontested divorce. You must also meet Virginia’s six‑month residency requirement.
Do I need to go to court for an uncontested divorce?
Yes, but the final hearing is usually brief and routine. In an uncontested divorce, only one spouse typically appears with counsel. The judge asks a few questions to confirm the separation period, the agreement, and that both parties agree to the divorce. No trial or contested testimony is involved.
How is child custody handled in an uncontested divorce?
If you and your spouse have agreed on custody and parenting time, those terms are included in the written separation agreement. The Circuit Court reviews the arrangement for the child’s best interests under . If you have already resolved custody, the court will generally approve the agreement as part of the final divorce decree.
