Publication Virginia Divorce

• Publication in the Newspaper (4 Week Process)
• Publication costs are estimated and may vary based on multiple factors. Any additional fees required for publication will be communicated to you in advance.
• A court appearance is REQUIRED, which includes both the attorney and the client being present in court.
• Without spouses’ signature.

There are three primary requirements to meet:

• You must currently be a Virginia resident and have lived in Virginia for the last six months.
• You must have been separated from your spouse for at least one year (Or, for six months if you have a written and signed separation agreement)
• You are unable to locate your spouse after making legitimate, diligent efforts to locate him/her.

If your situation falls within these criteria, you are ready to pursue a divorce by publication.

Note:
To ensure a quick filing and eliminate the need for court appearances, with your consent, the divorce decree will be submitted to the Chesapeake Circuit Court. Virginia law permits a divorce to be filed in any court in the state, so long as neither party objects.

Time frames provided are estimates and may be impacted by various factors, including court schedules, your spouse’s agreement and signature, and other circumstances beyond our control. The process will commence once the retainer agreement between FastVirginiaDivorce.com and the client is signed.

If your case includes factors that prevent you from proceeding with FastVirginiaDivorce.com, or if your spouse responds to the publication,, it can be referred to the Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller for further assistance. Please be aware
that this will result in additional fees and a change from a flat fee to an hourly rate.
