Virginia Uncontested Divorce Lawyer
EASY, FAST & LOW COST
Frequently, many Virginia clients believe that since both parties agree that they want a divorce, they have an uncontested divorce in Virginia. This perception is not entirely accurate.
Although both parties may want a divorce, a truly uncontested divorce in Virginia means that both parties have met certain statutory criteria in terms of living separate and apart. Also, all issues regarding child custody, property, support, debts, and so on have been resolved and there are absolutely no marital issues to be resolved.
The court procedure for obtaining an uncontested divorce varies from county to county. For example, the court procedure to obtain an uncontested divorce in Virginia is different from the procedure to obtain an uncontested divorce in Prince William, Virginia or another court in Northern Virginia.

Spousal Support & Alimony in Virginia
Spousal maintenance – alimony lawyers in Virginia
Even in uncontested divorces in Virginia, spousal maintenance may be awarded in a divorce or legal separation proceedings and may be subject to later modification or enforcement proceedings as well. Alimony is vital part of being able to move on after a divorce. Alimony is generally paid in installments over a period of time, (weekly or monthly, for example).
Spousal support is another term for alimony in Virginia.
Regardless of the term used Virginia, alimony is paid for a defined duration of time or until the death of one of the spouses or the remarriage of the recipient. What most people don’t realize is that alimony is taxable. The person paying the alimony deducts it as an above the line tax deduction. The person who receives alimony has to pay taxes on the amount of alimony received.
The Family Law Courts in Virginia have enormous discretion when determining the appropriate alimony award and the duration of the alimony award.
Due to this uncertainty, most Virginia divorce attorneys work hard towards trying to settle the issue of alimony without risking a trial on the issue of alimony. Our Virginia divorce lawyers will work to help you get spousal support and when necessary, defend an action for alimony.
