Virginia is an equitable distribution state. Property acquired during marriage is subject to fair—but not necessarily equal—division.

• Separate property (owned before marriage or inherited) stays with the original owner
   
• Marital property is split based on factors like income, contributions, and debts
   

Fault-based divorce (such as adultery or abuse) can influence the outcome of financial awards.

Spousal Support (Alimony) in Virginia

Virginia courts consider:

• Duration of the marriage
   
• Age, physical/mental condition of both parties
   
• Standard of living during the marriage
   
• Each spouse’s ability to be self-supporting
   
• Any marital fault
   

Support can be temporary, lump-sum, or long-term depending on your situation.

The court evaluates:

• Each parent’s role in the child’s life
   
• Willingness to support the other parent’s relationship
   
• Health, age, and special needs of the child

Child support is calculated using Virginia’s formula and both parents' incomes.
