Re: leaving the state/new job
If you leave Virginia and establish a residence in a new state, you will have to meet the residency requirements of the latter in order to
initiate divorce proceedings from there.
Re: leaving the state/new job
You can file for divorce regardless of his signing any "paperwork". With respect to marital assets, he will regret any dissipation of them in that such fact may be used in the ultimate division by the court
