I am trying to find information about divorce laws for Virginia. I was married for 12 1/2 years when my husband decided to leave me. That was in June. How can I go about getting a no fault divorce? I am now living in California and have been here for 2 months. Any help would be greatly apprcieate. Do I need to do a legal seperation first??? There is nothing to fight over and no children.

Thank-you!

My response:

If you're planning on staying in California, you don't need the laws of Virginia. You need the laws of California.

Once you satisfy the 6 month residency requirements of California, you can file for Legal Separation or Dissolution of Marriage in California. In California, you don't need to file for Legal Separation first - you can file for Dissolution of Marriage. California is strictly a "No Fault" divorce State, whereas most States are combination Fault / No Fault.
