Virginia law allows for both fault-based and no-fault divorces. Fault-based grounds include adultery, cruelty, and abandonment, which require the spouse seeking divorce to prove the other’s misconduct. Alternatively, no-fault divorces are available if the couple has been separated for a year (or six months if there are no minor children and the separation is formalized by a separation agreement). This approach simplifies the process by avoiding the need to prove fault.
