What Cheap Uncontested Divorce Means in Manassas, Virginia
A “cheap uncontested divorce” does not refer to a cut-rate legal service; it describes a divorce where both spouses have reached a full agreement on all marital issues and want to finalize the dissolution without protracted court proceedings. Because there is no trial and limited motion practice, the costs are typically much lower than in a contested case.
Under Virginia law, a no‑fault divorce may be granted after a period of separation. If the couple has no minor children and has signed a comprehensive separation agreement, the separation period is six months (Va. Code § 20‑91(9)(b)). In all other cases, a one‑year separation is required (Va. Code § 20‑91(9)(a)). Manassas divorce cases are heard in the Manassas Circuit Court, located at 9311 Lee Avenue, Suite 230, Manassas, Virginia 20110. The Circuit Court has exclusive jurisdiction over divorce, equitable distribution, and spousal support, while related custody, visitation, and child support matters are handled by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel appear regularly in both courts, and they can guide you through the procedural steps so that your uncontested divorce moves forward smoothly.
How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Uncontested Divorce Cases
When you work with Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., the first step is to determine whether your divorce truly qualifies as uncontested. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel will review the separation agreement—or help draft one if you and your spouse are still working out the details—to make sure it addresses all of the issues the court will require: property classification and division, spousal support (or a waiver of spousal support), and if children are involved, custody, visitation, and child support consistent with Virginia’s guidelines.
Once the agreement is signed by both parties, the firm prepares a Complaint for divorce and supporting documents, files them with the Manassas Circuit Court, and coordinates with the spouse’s attorney or with the spouse directly if they are unrepresented. Virginia requires at least one corroborating witness for an uncontested divorce hearing; the firm helps identify an appropriate witness and prepares the testimony. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel then present the case to the judge at a brief final hearing. Throughout the process, the team works to keep the matter efficient while ensuring that the decree is legally sound and enforceable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an uncontested divorce in Virginia?
An uncontested divorce is one in which both spouses agree on all material issues—property division, support, and custody—and at least one spouse meets Virginia’s residency and separation requirements. The agreement is typically memorialized in a written separation agreement. Because there is no dispute to litigate, the matter can be finalized without a trial, which often reduces both the time and the expense involved. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel can prepare the necessary pleadings and present the case to the Manassas Circuit Court so that the divorce is granted efficiently.
What are the requirements for an uncontested divorce in Manassas?
One spouse must have been a bona fide resident and domiciliary of Virginia for at least six months before filing. The couple must then live separate and apart without cohabitation for either one year (Va. Code § 20‑91(9)(a)) or, if there are no minor children and the parties have entered into a written separation agreement, for six months (§ 20‑91(9)(b)). The divorce complaint is filed in the Manassas Circuit Court. The firm handles all document preparation, filing, and the final hearing so that you can meet these requirements without uncertainty.
How is property divided in an uncontested divorce?
Virginia is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property is divided fairly—though not necessarily equally—according to the factors listed in Va. Code § 20‑107.3. In an uncontested divorce, the spouses decide for themselves how to divide assets and debts, and that division is set out in the separation agreement. The court will approve the agreement as long as it is not unconscionable. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel work with you to draft or review the agreement so that it accurately reflects your understanding and protects your interests.
Can we use a separation agreement to settle everything?
Yes—a comprehensive, signed separation agreement can resolve all issues of property division, spousal support, and, if children are involved, custody, visitation, and child support. Once signed by both parties, the agreement becomes a binding contract. The judge will incorporate it into the final divorce decree, making the terms enforceable. Drafting a thorough agreement is one of the most important steps in an uncontested divorce, and Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel bring extensive combined legal experience to the task.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
You are not required by Virginia law to have an attorney, but even in an agreed‑upon divorce, a lawyer helps ensure that the separation agreement is complete, that all statutory requirements are met, and that your rights are fully protected. A small oversight—such as omitting a retirement account classification or failing to address the tax consequences of a property transfer—can cause problems later. For a consultation, reach Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel at (888) 437-7747.
