Virginia Equitable Distribution Statute for International Assets
Virginia is an equitable distribution state under Va. Code § 20-107.3. This statute governs the division of all marital property, including international assets such as overseas real estate, foreign retirement accounts, and offshore investments. Mr. Sris personally amended this statute, giving the firm unique insight into its application for complex international divorce cases. The court considers 11 factors to determine a fair division, which is not necessarily 50/50. Separate property — assets acquired before marriage, by inheritance, or as gifts — is excluded from division. For international assets, the court may need to determine jurisdiction, valuation in foreign currencies, and enforceability of orders abroad.
