What Uncontested Divorce Means in Fauquier County
An uncontested divorce refers to a divorce where both parties agree on all issues: property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support. India is not a signatory to the 1980 Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. In Virginia, this type of divorce is also known as a “no‑fault” divorce under Va. Code § 20‑91(9). For a divorce with minor children, the parties must have been separated for at least one year before filing. If there are no minor children of the marriage and both spouses have signed a written separation agreement, the separation period is shortened to six months. The entire proceeding is filed in the Fauquier County Circuit Court, the court with exclusive jurisdiction over divorces in the county.
Because both sides are in agreement, uncontested divorces in Fauquier County typically proceed more quickly and at significantly lower cost than contested matters. A signed property settlement agreement allows the court to enter a final divorce decree without a trial. The filing fee for the complaint is approximately $86, with additional service costs if the sheriff or a private process server is used. Once filed, uncontested divorces with all documents in order generally resolve within 2 to 4 months, though the exact timeline varies based on the court’s calendar. Our firm handles the preparation and filing of all required documents so the process runs as smoothly as possible.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Uncontested Divorce Cases
Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel team approach each uncontested divorce with efficiency and attention to detail. We begin by carefully reviewing the parties’ proposed division of assets, debts, and, if applicable, custody and support arrangements. Our firm drafts or reviews the property settlement agreement to ensure it accurately reflects your intentions and complies with Virginia law. Once the agreement is signed, we prepare the divorce complaint and all supporting documents for filing with the Fauquier County Circuit Court.
At the final uncontested divorce hearing, one party must appear before the judge—typically the plaintiff—and present brief testimony and one corroborating witness. Our attorney attends that hearing with you, helping to ensure that every procedural requirement is met. Throughout the case, we keep you informed and answer your questions. The result is an uncontested divorce that protects your interests while keeping legal fees manageable. To begin, call (888) 437‑7747 to schedule a consultation with Mr. Sris or his Of Counsel.
