In Virginia, your marriage can't be annulled simply because you've only been married a short time. However, if you have been married for two years or less and your marriage was illegal or based on fraud, then your marriage may be annulled.

The basic form that you'll need to prepare will be the divorce complaint, which tells the court what you're requesting in your divorce. When filing for an uncontested divorce, you will also include your settlement agreement and a proposed final divorce decree that matches the provisions in your agreement.

To obtain a divorce in Virginia, either you or your spouse must be a resident of Virginia for at least six months prior to filing for divorce. If there are no children from the marriage, you must be separated for a minimum of six months and have a written property settlement agreement before you may file for divorce.

You will be required to have a hearing where you will need to prove the legal grounds for the annulment. In Virginia, a judge cannot order alimony or property division, including a portion of the other spouse's retirement accounts, after an annulment like a judge can in a divorce.

While it is not a crime to date (lunch, dinner, movies, etc.) during your separation, adultery is something you should be concerned about. Adultery, or having sex with a partner other than your spouse while married, is a Class 4 misdemeanor in the state of Virginia.
