Legal Separation: There is no such thing in Virginia. People are either 1) married and living together; 2) married and living apart; or 3) divorced. Mediation: In mediation, a neutral person helps resolve disputes, such as custody and visitation, support, and property division.
You can think of the marital settlement agreement as the preliminary process required when getting divorced. On the other hand, a divorce decree legally mandates that you are divorced in the eyes of the law.
No. However, as many Virginia divorce attorneys will tell you, it is an excellent idea for you and your spouse to have signed a written separation agreement when the two of you decide to separate, and certainly before anyone moves out of the house.
Talk to an attorney or a mediator. If you and your spouse have property, assets, and/or debts to divide, you must have a “Property Settlement Agreement” (“PSA”) or “Separation Agreement” that you both understand and agree to before beginning this program. A mediator may help you divide these.
A PSA is a contract that delineates the separation requirements necessary to secure a divorce in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It governs crucial aspects of the divorce process, such as the division of marital assets and debts, child custody arrangements, child support, and spousal support.
You must reach a comprehensive divorce settlement agreement in order to avoid going to court in California.
