Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

What to do next? Divorce

I will have been separated for 1 year on July 12, 2009. We have no children and have already divided up everything. It is an uncontested divorce. What exactly do I need to do after 1 year to finle for divorce? Can I just go to my local office and file? Any paperwork I need to fill out? Any advice is appreicated.

Re: What to do next? Divorce

All you need to do is file for divorce. You can either file now, if you can get him to sign a property settlement agreement (stating that you have no property for the court to divide) or if you can't get him to sign that or you don't know where he is, then you can file for divorce on July 12th. You can either hire a lawyer to complete and file all the paperwork for you or your local court house may have forms to help you. Let me know if I can be of further help. Good luck.
