How a Child Custody Attorney Can Help You
Getting a divorce can be a painful and stressful time for the children involved and hiring a child custody attorney in Williamsburg can certainly make things easier. It is understandable that you would want to get the process over with as quickly as you can. Unfortunately, the only way to get a fast resolution is if you are filing on the grounds of adultery and can prove it to the court. Proving adultery requires a third party coming to court to corroborate the fact of adultery.

Filing on the grounds that the parties involved have lived separately and apart for at least six months to a year. The time frame for filing a complaint for an uncontested divorce in Virginia is a separation period of six months, only if you have no minor children, and both parties have signed a settlement agreement.
If you have minor children, and/or do not have a settlement agreement the separation period must be one year before you can file your complaint with the court.
