Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Please Help asap!!
My wife is waiving the complaint that she filed on me during our divorce. They sent me the papers that were filed with a waiver over it. Everything seems great and I understand everything except it states..''I understand that by waiving service of process,I am giving up my right to be notified of the events described immediately above!'' So does that mean that she can go back on me ten years down the road and file for something again..???

"The events described immediately above", refers to the events associated with the process of finalizing the divorce, such as the Ore Tenus hearing before the judge,
which typically finalizes matters in the divorce before the judge signs off on the final decree. That's all. You are waiving only your right to be notified of these particular matters but certainly not some new legal matter
which might occur 10 years down the road.

Waiver of service of process means that the party being served with the complaint, by signing the waiver, waives the right to service of process in all further pleadings in the matter. If you are unsure of the effect this may have on your rights and liabilities I advise that you consult an attorney.
