What is Divorce After Separation?

Divorce refers to a legal dissolution and termination of a marriage. In many cases, spouses have been separated for a year or more before they file for divorce. While separation denies two married people the right to cohabitation, it does not legally unbind them from their marriage. This can lead to complicated implications for tax purposes, wills and trusts, and co-owned property and assets.

How to File For a VA Divorce After Separation?

It is important to retain the experience of a knowledgeable and efficient Virginia divorce attorney before filing. In Virginia, each spouse must be a resident for at least 6 months before being eligible. If your spouse is not present, you might be eligible for a publication divorce. Contact Attorney Ryan Mattson at Mattson Legal in Fairfax to learn more.
