   Does Virginia have a legal separation process?

   • Unlike many states, Virginia does not have a procedure for obtaining a status of “legal separation” in these no-fault cases. Meaning, divorcing couples in Virginia usually go from being married, to living apart (with or without a separation agreement), to getting a divorce—with a court only getting involved at the divorce stage.

   Are separation agreements binding in Virginia?

   • Except for child custody and child support, separation agreements are binding, forever, for both parties. Virginia law allows judges to modify or review child custody and child support decisions at any time when it would serve the child's best interests. In some cases, one spouse will hire an attorney to draft a separation agreement.
