How Do I File for Divorce in Northern Virginia?
Divorce is a complicated legal process, and the divorce lawyers at Graham Law are here to help. To file for divorce in Northern Virginia, the spouse legally seeking to end their marriage (the “plaintiff”) must file a complaint in the appropriate Virginia Circuit Court. This court is generally located within the city or county where you live. Filing a complaint against your spouse entails paying a filing fee and must include the following information:
- Current living arrangements of you and your spouse
- Current military status of you and your spouse
- Satisfaction of the residence requirements
- Grounds for divorce
- Satisfaction of the separation period (if applicable)
- Ages and living arrangements of any children of the marriage
Our award-winning divorce lawyers will help you throughout the entire complaint process, from an initial divorce consultation to ensuring a legal summons was served to the defendant within all legal guidelines.

I Was Served Divorce Papers, Now What?
Did your spouse file for divorce, and you’re not sure what to do next? It’s important to put yourself on the right track after being served divorce papers, and we can help. To do this, you must decide whether or not you wish to respond to the divorce petition.
As one of the best divorce law firms in Northern Virginia, we’ll ensure you respond to the divorce petition before the response deadline of 21 days from the date you were served—if you wish to agree to the divorce.
