What an Uncontested Divorce Means in Alexandria
An uncontested divorce in Virginia is one where both spouses agree on all material issues—property division, spousal support, and, if applicable, child custody (India is not a signatory to the 1980 Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction) and support—and proceed without a trial. The no‑fault ground most often used is a six‑month separation with a signed separation agreement and no minor children, or a one‑year separation if children are involved (Va. Code § 20‑91(9)). The Alexandria Circuit Court at 520 King Street, 2nd Floor, Alexandria, VA 22320 has exclusive jurisdiction over the divorce itself, while standalone custody and support matters may be heard in the Alexandria Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
Because the parties agree, the process is quicker and less expensive. According to the Alexandria Circuit Court’s fee schedule, the filing fee for a divorce complaint is approximately the court fee; sheriff service of process costs about $12, and private process server fees range from $50 to $100. A written separation agreement resolves property division, support, and parenting arrangements. Virginia law requires at least one corroborating witness for the final hearing, and mediation is available but not mandatory. When both sides cooperate, the court can enter a final decree of divorce from the bond of matrimony without protracted litigation.

A poorly drafted agreement can lead to expensive post‑divorce disputes. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel concentrate on crafting agreements that withstand scrutiny, giving you peace of mind.

This arrangement gives you cost certainty and is ideal when both spouses are cooperating. When you call (888) 437‑7747, we can explain whether a flat‑fee structure fits your circumstances.
What are the grounds for divorce in Virginia?
Virginia allows both fault and no‑fault grounds; for an uncontested divorce, no‑fault grounds are used. The no‑fault grounds under Va. Code § 20‑91(9) require either six months of separation with a signed separation agreement and no minor children, or one year of separation. Fault grounds—such as adultery, cruelty, or desertion—are unnecessary in an uncontested case. An experienced attorney can help you determine the correct ground to file under.
