Virginia is an equitable distribution state, not a community property state. Under Va. Code § 20-107.3, the court divides marital property — including business interests — fairly but not necessarily 50/50. A business valuation determines the fair market value of your company, professional practice, or LLC. The court considers 11 statutory factors to decide how to divide that value. Mr. Sris personally amended this statute, giving your case a unique advantage. Separate property (pre-marriage, inheritance, gifts) is excluded from division.
