Northern Virginia Uncontested Divorce Lawyers
The transition from the end stages of a marriage to the beginning of a new chapter in life is not an easy one. It's even more difficult when the divorce process is contentious — and especially so when the differences between two people have to be resolved in court.
At THE THOMAS LAW FIRM, we help people put a legal end to their marriage with the services we provide for uncontested divorce. This way of ending a marriage saves people untold amounts of frustration, time and the indignities of a public trial. It also saves people a tremendous amount of money, money better spent on starting a new life. At the same time, an uncontested divorce protects children from the long-term emotional and psychological damage that a courtroom battle can inflict.
If you and your spouse agree on how the significant issues should be resolved — our attorneys can help you to successfully complete the uncontested divorce process. To learn more about this process and what it involves — call or contact our law offices in Falls Church, Virginia, for a free consultation.
Are There Any Requirements?
An uncontested divorce is supposed to be simple and for the most part, it is. Here are a few basic pieces of information to be aware of going in:
-
If there are no children involved, you must demonstrate (and make a statement under oath) that you and your spouse have been living "separately" for at least six months. This doesn't mean you can't be living under the same roof. What it does mean is that you haven't slept together or had marital relations in the last six months.
-
If there are children, the living "separate" requirement is one year.
-
You and your spouse must have a signed settlement agreement resolving all of the significant issues, including child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support (if any) and the division of marital property.
