Division of Property
Virginia is an equitable division state. This means that in a divorce proceeding, all the marital assets and property of the parties should be divided fairly at the court’s discretion. As each divorce case is unique, the spouses may receive either equal or different shares of the property.
When dividing the property, the judge pays attention to the following circumstances:
- Each spouse's income, debts, liabilities, earning capacity
- Each spouse's age, health
- The length of the marriage
- Whether either party is financially self-sufficient
- Each spouse's age and health
- Tax consequences of dividing the property, and any other factors which may seem relevant to the court
In Virginia, typically, only the common property acquired during the marriage is subject to division. Property owned by each spouse prior to the marriage, as well as personal gifts and inheritances received before or during the marriage, will remain with the initial owner.

Our smooth breakup allowed us to file for uncontested divorce and we just decided to arrange it as simply as possible. Online divorce seemed to be a good idea, and now I'm sure we did it right. All the papers were prepared with no issues and I'm pleased with the price. Thanks.

I think that all the papers related to a certain county with its own legal nuances would be prepared correctly only by a Virginia-based company. So that's why I used VirginiaOnlineDivorce and I was really satisfied. My divorce papers were completed in a timely manner and I had no troubles with filing. That was a really smooth process and you can be confident with your filing.

It always seemed to me that divorce must be a much more complicated process. I couldn't imagine how I would cope with that. Where do I get all those papers, how to fill them out and where to go and what to do? So, I was really glad I found virginiaonlinedivorce.com and they took care of all the paperwork and gave me clear instructions on how to file with the court. That made the whole process so much easier!
