To proceed with an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse must come to a settlement agreement. You must agree on the terms of your divorce, including property, asset, and debt division, child custody (if applicable), and alimony. Without agreeing on all of these terms, the divorce cannot be considered uncontested.

A hearing shall be held by the court, as provided herein, and the court shall rule on any such motions not later than forty-five days after the date of judgment, not including the date of entry of such judgment.

Uncontested Divorces An uncontested divorce is the fastest and easiest way to get a divorce in Virginia, and it's also the most affordable. The grounds for an uncontested divorce are that the parties have lived separate and apart for six (6) months, or one (1) year.

Motions may be filed for the same purposes recognized by the courts of record in the Commonwealth. Unless otherwise ordered by the commission, any response to a motion must be filed within 14 days of the filing of the motion, and any reply by the moving party must be filed within 10 days of the filing of the response.

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.

Once you have been separated for six months or one year, the steps in an uncontested divorce can be completed relatively quickly. Depending on how fast you can agree on and sign a property settlement agreement and the judge's availability, your divorce can be finalized in approximately one to two months.
