Frequently Asked Questions
What are the grounds for divorce in Virginia?
Virginia recognizes both fault and no-fault grounds. The most common no-fault ground is living separate and apart for one year (or six months with a separation agreement and no minor children). Fault grounds include adultery, cruelty, desertion, and felony conviction.
How is child custody determined in Manassas Park?
The Prince William County Circuit Court determines custody based on the child’s best interests. Factors include each parent’s ability to care for the child, the child’s relationship with each parent, and the child’s reasonable preference if they are of sufficient age and maturity.
What factors affect spousal support in Virginia?
The court considers the needs of the requesting spouse, the other spouse’s ability to pay, the marriage’s duration, each spouse’s financial resources, and the standard of living established during the marriage. Support may be temporary, rehabilitative, or permanent.
How is property divided in a Virginia divorce?
Virginia follows equitable distribution under Va. Code § 20-107.3. This means marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily equally. The court considers each spouse’s contributions, the marriage’s duration, and each spouse’s economic circumstances.
Can I modify a child support order in Manassas Park?
Yes. You can request a modification if there is a material change in circumstances, such as a significant income change for either parent, a change in the child’s needs, or a change in custody arrangements. The process requires filing a petition with the court.
