Understanding Divorce in Virginia

Virginia law recognizes both fault-based and no-fault divorces, and the right path depends entirely on your unique circumstances. We’re here to help you understand your options clearly—from the legal grounds for divorce to the specific steps involved in moving forward.

We assist clients with both contested and uncontested divorces, and we regularly draft and review separation agreements to protect our clients’ interests from the outset. Whether your case involves claims of adultery, cruelty, or abandonment, or you’re pursuing a no-fault divorce after a period of separation, we provide the knowledge and guidance you need to make informed, confident decisions every step of the way.

What to Expect During the Divorce Process

Divorce can feel overwhelming, but we help make the process manageable and transparent. Here’s how it typically works:

  1. Initial Consultation – We listen to your story, understand your priorities, and assess the legal path ahead.
  2. Filing & Service – Legal paperwork is filed and served according to Virginia law.
  3. Discovery & Negotiation – We exchange information, explore settlement options, and advocate for your interests.
  4. Mediation or Trial – If needed, we represent you in court or help resolve disputes through mediation.
  5. Final Order – Once terms are finalized, the court issues a divorce decree, and we help you transition forward.

When Do I Need a Divorce Lawyer?

If you’re asking this question, chances are the time to speak with a divorce lawyer is already here. While some couples can separate amicably, the legal and financial implications of divorce are rarely simple. Even if things seem straightforward at first, unexpected issues can arise quickly—especially when children, property, or long-term finances are involved.

You should strongly consider hiring a divorce lawyer if:

  • You and your spouse disagree on custody, support, or division of assets.
  • You’re concerned about protecting your rights or future stability.
  • You feel intimidated, overwhelmed, or unsure of your legal options.
  • Your spouse has already hired legal representation.
  • There’s a history of emotional, financial, or physical abuse in the relationship.


At Renfro & Renfro, we help you navigate divorce from a position of strength. Whether you’re just starting to consider your options or need urgent legal support, we’re here to protect what matters most and help you move forward with confidence.
