Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
Hi
I am separated from my spouse since early October. We have a 7 year old son together. I, the husband left the house. When we file for divorce, how do youconfirm that we separated for one year?
Do we need to do any paperwork now or we do not need to do that. How will the court know or believe that we have separated for a year?

You will assert this fact in your complaint for divorce filed with the appropriate circuit court and later swear to it during the course of the divorce proceedings.
